"They're trying to fool you. They're trying to scare you and they're not telling the truth," a fired-up Obama declared while campaigning in South Dakota. "But it's not going to work. Both Bush and McCain represent the failed foreign policy and fear mongering of the past," Obama said. "I believe the American people are ready to reject this approach and to choose the future."

Jay,
Muses are fickle creatures. I write web fiction but of the sci-fi/fantasy variety. When I get a story idea rolling, the wife complains. All I talk about is the story I'm writing. If the fiction writing muse leaves me, I can't put three words together.
I served in the Navy but never on board ship. Maybe I'll check out what you wrote.
Cheers,
Bill

We wondered where you were, and debated sending a search party. The vote ended up inconclusive.

Gee, thanks, Jim.
Reminds me of the sick CEO who got a card:
By a vote of 5-3, the Board of Directors wishes you to get well soon.
J.

Well, there was a lot of diversity of opinion. Some thought it called for an "open blog day" on the "when the cat's away" theory. Some wanted to send up a flare, others smoke signals, still others (okay, it was me) suggested putting Mr. Ducky on milk cartons.
In the end, cooler heads prevailed and a "wait and see" posture was adopted. What else could we do? None of us could identify the body anyway . . .

Okay, so where is this story? I see the message board but it appears to be a bunch of stuff from numerous ppl. I checked out your profile and found the earliest part linked there is part VIII. Where's the beginning without having to scan through page after page of posts to find it (if it's there)? And do you link to each successive part?

Have you compiled all parts of the story in one place? It looks like a great read.
