I haven't replied to some messages and posts this week.

That's not because I hate you, but because I became sick and had to go to hospital for a few days. I'm better now, but it will take some time to catch up with correspondence.

In the meantime, please read the rewritten version of this story, which I consider far more satisfactory than the original.

There is a plotline developing around my new character Leah, which encompasses about ten pictures already posted as well as some in the works. It's a bit messy at the moment because I'm making it up as I go.

Some of the characters change between scenes, and the scenes are out of sequential order. Later on, I hope to rearrange everything into a coherent saga, but for now you might have to guess which characters change from scene to scene and what the sequential order is meant to be. That might amuse hard-core Dusty fans until regular posting resumes. You may even wish to post your guesses in the comments to this journal!

Cheers!
