Meep for the names and the ages (possibly whole families killed...) and the end line - this drabble has as masters degree in angst!

Hee! The first version had occupations and marital status too but I ran out of words...
Lester and Jenny must play out variations on that scene all the time. No wonder Jenny eventually has to bale. :(

A very sobering look at the tough part of Lester's job. Nicely done.

Thanks. Lester's battles may be office-based but he definitely fights them.

Thanks! (I was very pleased with the little family groupings!) Really I don't know how Lester and Jenny cope. They must play out variations on that scene all the time.

Lovely look at the nastier side of the anomalies.

Thanks! Of course, there's no real choice but the responsibility of signing off on all those lies must really weigh on Lester.
