Hello, everyone! Milk Balloons here, and I would just like to say a hearty 'thank you' to everyone who has enjoyed my stories! Also, your feedback has been very encouraging and I look forward to writing more for all of you. In this installment, I have a trio of quick chapters. They're separated mostly for length purposes, rather than actual breaks in the story; but as I found myself writing a 30+ page chapter, I thought it might be best to break it up just a bit. I'm afraid I'm going away for a bit for employment purposes, and i'm not entirely sure how often I'll be able to write in the mean time, but I'll do my best to write the next few chapters. So, until that time... Have fun, and I'll be back in a few weeks! Sincerely, Milk Balloons CaslerL@comcast.net PS - Please feel free to email me if you have any further comments, suggestions, or criticisms. I enjoy any and all feedback!
