loved it. :) I liked the not knowing what had happened until later in the story. It built up the tension a bit and it was really interesting. :)

thanks for sharing.

Oh, wow. What an idea. And I loved the realization that the constant distractions from talking were being caused by John, too.

I like the barfing realism.

Oh, thanks! I worry about writing Rodney.

And yeah, he definitely has it figured out by the third time. :)

Oh I liked this :) Moving back and forth between past and present worked so well, and I loved the idea. And I loved that John was causing all the little problems to avoid the conversation about the fact that he was capable of causing little problems.

Nicely done.

You know, when you put it that way, it's pretty funny. :)
