How Late It Was, How Late

Should've posted this link eons ago, but my erratic blogging practices got in the way. (The Babu is slightly alarmed; his blogging follows exactly the same patterns as malarial fever, manically up one moment, desperately down the next.)
Anyway. Maud has a new short story, Post-Extraction, up at Swink. If you've noticed, I steal my best links from her and Ms Aulenback, and I intend to work up to the point where I steal my best lines ditto.
