(chuckles) Thank you for the feedback :)

It's not very good, but I've already posted episode one, and am working on
episode 2 now :)  So far they're only running about 2k words per episode, as
I'm just getting back into this type of writing after a long hiatus...

I don't really see it having an end as such.  It's a serial, that will go on
basically forever or until I run out of ideas for it :)

you can find the first episode at
