Hello. This is my last scheduled story on this site. You can read some sardonic thoughts about the project in retrospect, if you like.

The saw goes that mastery requires ten thousand hours of practice. By that measure, I’m now about one-fifth of halfway decent at writing goofy 101-word stories. But despite my occasional assertions, there are other ways to learn than doing, and one of them is aping your betters. I’ve persuaded some of the superstars I ape to write guest posts here for the next couple weeks. Lucky me!

Thanks, gentle reader. You have been unfailingly kind.
