wow...never would have thought they were connected. curiouser and curiouser.

And yet all the way back at Red River, they were. Yay for planning.
I wonder how they know each other. And how did Uthy get SLOP carved in her side.
*giggles madly*

Tease. 8|

Someone's gone through the trouble of havin ol' tony zeroed? That's interesting.

Sam has found himself in a Tarantino situation. I wonder what the Rooter significance is... why Tony gets zeroed the very day after he's spilled his guts about the nature of his dishonorable discharge to the daughter (?) of the guy he's clocked. Whether Uthalla knows of Sam's and Tony's history. Are the three traipsing around and hunting each other, never knowing they're so close to their prey? Does Pomander make them a cheery quartet? Are they part of some cult or something?

As epilogs go, this one does a miserable job of summing things up and tying loose ends :)

Cue the next arc!

Has Sam been wounded? Looks like he's kinda slumped in the chair there, looks like a bit o' blood under his arm too.

The story never ends! __and that's how it should be. Most excellent work on your story-line.

That's why this is the epilogue.
When you go back and look at the short conversation they had in Red River, look at it as how two people who know and distrust each other would act. See...they're not strangers at all. :)

Aww, nuthin's easy for Muley. :/

Nothin' ever is. At least he's got Rita.

Oh my! Leaves me wanting much more...

How much more?
This isn't just an epilogue. Its a prologue for a later story. *grins*

I kind of figured that. YAY more story!
I will enjoy as much as you write! Your stuff is yummy, darkly beautiful and very unique. Loves it.

That's interesting. The web weaves a bit more tangled. Now I'm wondering about their history and connection, as well as wondering what just happened to Sam.

Good to see more Slop.

I'm all caught up with SLOP now, and it's simply brilliant, if I must say so. You did a masterful job making us feel sorry for Tony. I can't wait for the next story.

Its a cruel joke on the readers. You feel sorry for...a monster :)
