*storms past en route to 21K*

Glad to be here, my story is now looking more like an action/suspense/mystery/detective story than it resembled porn earlier today. Some daring do, guns shooting and nail biting escape from the building. Next up, mad dash through the city and out into the wasteland. Or at least the wilderness. Not quite post apocalyptic, but leaning in that direction.
