Is Chris in the hospital? Anyway, really good. I liked it a lot. :D Gritty, yet light. Like the show! You're so good at capturing it. If they make the American version, you must write for it! :D

Yes. Chris is in hospital. Bad things happened! Rocks fell!

Thanks, Meli :)

*Stands up and gives Loz a round of applause*

This is brilliant! I wish I could get something half as lucid and entertaining out of one of my bouts of insomnia. :-)

Of course now you'll have to write a prequel, explaining what happened to Chris...

Thank you :)

Ahh yes. The story of how he got there.

Silly me, I thought this was going to be a story about insomnia, until I looked at the time of the post and realized that you were talking about yourself in the subject line. Coincidentally, it's nearly 3 a.m. here right now. But unlike you, I'm not doing anything productive like writing.

Anyway, poor Chris! You've even got me feeling sorry for Ray. Ray! This was an interesting -- and promising -- bit, but I wanted more. I add my vote for a prequel.

I've already sort-of done a story about insomnia :D

Well - it won't be coming for over a month, but there might be one (unless NaNoWriMo breaks me, of course.) I love writing sections of stories - you might have noticed. Just moments. It's a bad habit.

Thank you.
