Rico, I wish you visited more, this is excellent, the brown teeth scared the hell out of me, and the Wet Towel made me laugh.
Behind-the-scene happenings are hard to write. Your story doesn’t take the challenge literally, but it’s still all about the challenge, I love it! Your characters are phenomenal.

Did you mean to write alighted? “Al’s eyes lighted on”. Or do you mean his eyes lit up?

Yep. I did mean “alighted”. No wonder I was a character short. :)

Thanks. I’ll try to make it more of a habit to come around. This one was easy because I remembered reading this news story a week or so ago and wondering more about who the hell thought this was a good idea than what it was like for the poor kids who had to go through it…
