Speechless, but not type-less

Hey, kids, it's November 28th, and you need to get your last look at that counter over there on the far side of the page with a number less than 100,000! I have a sneaking feeling that by late tonight, or early tomorrow at the latest, that number will turn over.

And the 40K is not far behind.

The only thing is (sigh...) this story is not NEARLY finished! Snap! It'll have to go on a diet soon after I type "The End."
