(Can I write in compound sentences? Well... yes, just not before I've had my first cup of coffee.)

I've finally posted something to my profile.

It's graphically violent. I apologize in advance to those who may be offended by the death of an innocent pig, or who have done this procedure and will tell me that's not how it works - the point here is to show how mentally unbalanced the young lady is through how graphic her memory is and how utterly devoid of remorse, disgust, or shock her response to the process is.

It's just taken this long to write something that feels cohesive and is not full of unprintable words. :) I promise if I can come up with something less ...nasty... I'll change it.

Has found a different sample, and discovered that you can get a lot of mileage out of grieving parents at the funeral of their teenage son...

Hokay! That was awesomesauce. Well done thus far - really interesting! I'll try to find something printable. No particular cussing for my part, just extremely disjointed. And *hella* derivative.
