Cool, Hora, so glad to see you writing again
I especially liked this image:
"..he cackled to himself as he bent down to pick up a piece of silverware that had fallen to the floor of the ballroom and neatly placed it beside the dusty plate"
I still wish we could recover the old Horzt story somehow, if only for Heresy's book. All the same, I hope you will be writing more now!
One of these days I'll badger Ariades into writing also. *badgers*
