What Dinah saw

[phryneateleusis]

Well, damn it! I forgot what Dinah saw. Truly. I was editing on the fly because I wrote the blessed thing overnight to make my commitment. And at one point I had a small paragraph arranged in such a way that it would suggest what she saw, but now I cannot for the life of me figure what it was. The current arrangement of paragraphs just fails me.

If I may be so surious, what about it was just a little disturbing?

Thanks very much for writing by the way. I'm pleased you enjoyed it - it's all that I hope for as a writer.
Cheers,
Phryne

Hey, thanks for clarifying your thoughts on 'disturbing'.

I hadn't thought of posting it to BOPSlash (erm... are you referring to the Yahoo! Groups list or the LiveJournal community?) until you mentioned it. In any case, I believe I shall - once I've cleaned it up and perhaps re-arranged the paras to suggest what Dinah saw.

Thanks,
Phryne

Oh, hello!

Erm...I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's really nice of you to chime in.

You're recc-ing Grammar? Good heavens. I didn't realise it could be read at one go. But... by all means. I'll drop by and say hello to the other kids you've got on your rec list.

Cheers,
Phryne
