Orig> Hey Wing, interesting story. A few questions I am not sure you will
Orig> answer since hey this story is not continuing:

I will answer. ^_^;;

Orig> 1) How did a grown adult get malleted/nailed/spiked/staked (alphabetical)
Orig> to death by a sick, weak, near death kid, while said adult was carrying a
Orig> re-enforced metal briefcase? All he had to do was bop him with it.

Since it was a quickie, I was just writing off the top of my head.  Didn't
even bother with spell checks or anything, so it's noticebly rough.  I DID
type it up in pine. ^_^;;

Back to the dead guy. ;)  It is/was assumed that Gos had done his own
soul searching and took upon himself a journey to train in his own skills.
Though he isn't a great fighter, he isn't really weak anymore, compared to
the average person, that is.  Though he is sick and dying, at least in
this story line.

Orig> 2) How come said adult was carrying around, what is it called, heavy water?

Heavy water is something used to absorb some of the radiation that is
emitted from radioactive substances such as plutonium and uranium.  It is
best suited to absorb neutrons as it slows them down a bit.  This idea to
use heavy water was taken from Back to the Future. ;)


Orig> 3) For a sickly near death person, Gos sure can do a lot.

Yup, he sure can.  I assumed that since he at least studied a good deal,
he would be the most likely of the Ranma crew to actually know about
science and atomic physics.

Orig> 4) Does any one else use PIne and use the x% of message as a guide to
Orig> when the story will end? I do and it really throws me off cause I see
Orig> 90% and think okay climax or some scene and then read endnotes.
Orig> Todd's Careful Destiny leaves me wanting more of the story.
Orig> Thanks for sharing your time and story with us.

hehe... I use pine! Though to read. The percentage is useful for long
story posts so one can see how much of the drama is left before the return
to the dreary world... -_-

[snipped portion about depression]

Emotions aid in writing though they may not be all that writing is.  This
is of course, my opinion. ;)  For me, when I feel my emotions, I focus on
them and let them focus on me and through me.  Then, I let those feelings
mingle with my own thoughts and then the words begin to form... then
sentences, then paragraphs, then back to feelings of objects... these all
get translated almost directly from mind though body to text.  And since
it has gone through a few mental cycles, then it's more or less done with
just some touch ups and re-forming needed.

As to the depression, it's one of the easier feelings to focus on, for me,
at least.  Note that I meant easy as in easiest to feel, not easiest to
bear.  Also, I wasn't in a good mood, so I had plenty depression and
non-happy points/energy to spare... oh yeah... plenty.

Orig> DMMH = Didn't make me hurt

*smiles*

Orig> Wing - Strange Farewell : NIce descriptive ending scene that had to make
Orig> me remember what I have heard of pictures of Hiroshima. Will Hiroshima
Orig> always be connected to the A-bomb? DMMH, but the ending rended some part
Orig> of me.

Sorry about the ending... I just felt like the ending had to do
something... Gos feels alot of pain... both inside and out.

[bit about pw snipped]

Nope, no spiked food.  I live near LA.  It's a way of life... sort of.  At
least for me. ;)  Sometimes I wish I had ryoga's lion's roar attack...
*smiles*  Wanna work off this depression...

Wing. [ Power... that always cheers me up... until I realise how hollow it
	is. ]
