> "Stuck" would be my favorite after that, I think, for much the same reasons. I, too, appreciate stories that are about how people act and react under extreme circumstances -- when these types of stories are done well, there need not be any explanation or justification for what brought about the extreme circumstances in the first place -- and it can even be detrimental if the story gets sidetracked into doing so.

Reminds me of Kafka. I'm sure there is some literary term for this, but I'm too far seperated from my degree by the sixth dimension to recall it. :)

Anway, "Stuck" is also my favorite. Great work, Dave.
