    Day job, indeed. And I loved the Narnia reference. A cup and a sword and a tree and the green hill indeed.

    Wow!!! Now this story is getting scary.  The only way I can have a ‘great score’ is to give someone else who writes horrible a ‘great score’.  So why should I, the yellow fairey, write well when I know the blue fairey will give me a ‘great score’ no matter what.  Gesh!! This is a scary story!! I don’t know if I want to read anymore.  :))
