> Tyler, I sincerely wish I could assist you, for it is an intruiging idea, though not entirely untried ... It kind of sounds like something Robin Cook might write, or perhaps Dean Koontz ...

That's actually a good possibility, as I read a lot of Koontz and some Cook when I was in junior high/high school (the time frame in which I believe I began the story).

Could I suggest you try some of the message boards that are set up specifically for discussing popular novles etc?

You just did. :) I generally stumble on posting boards and discussion groups, and very few appeal to me as useful, intelligent forums. Most are full of spam and cries of porn. One which I frequent out of habit has been reduced to "Happy Birthday"s "Merry Christmas"s and *gag* "huggles". Most of the intelligent life has fled, and what little of the old crew is left is spiteful and bored. And yet, it was once a little haven, just like RinkWorks. Beware RinkFolk, for dark days may yet come to this happy board.

For now I'm enjoying a relaxing stay at RinkWorks. And if that means I never read the end of the story, so be it.

I'll save it for a day I'm feeling explorative. (Did I just make a word up?)

Surely!
