Huzzah for the 80k milestone! Today’s 5,000-word entry, making up for yesterday’s short entry, introduces Variable’s new fetch and the concept of The Leaf. And, in total craziness, the group of three move forward to other places. Lots of other stuff happens, too.

But when she read the story and then asked me, “Where’s the sex?”, I don’t think I could leave their relationship out of the story any longer!
