Thank you for the compliments. I'm so glad you thought this story worked. It does get a bit confusing, and it's nice to know it comes across well in the end.

Yes, green. Heh. I love the color green. Deep forest green, deep blue-green... Gorgeous. I think perhaps the final curse, as quick as it comes, may not be recognizable enough at the time to scare the victim.

And I forgot to tell you: I love your icon! Spike discoing... *snort*
