Thanks. I love writing the Tiergan-in-motion parts — I can usually slip in a sense of joy, even when he's got other things on his mind. It's a nice break from his usual brooding.

"There’s a couple up ahead, but they are walking away from me. No problem. I love these old streets. Parked cars and long, dark stretches between bright, white street lights. Nothing but shadow to hide in. If I wanted to be spotted, I’d have trouble doing it."

I really loved this, read it over and over a number of times - I do that when something really strikes me. I was really there, on that street, seeing it as a wolf.

Hey Vercin — the latter. Once I start naming, there's no stopping. :-) Actually, it was a bit of an inside joke — the topic came up in another forum not that long ago. In the version of Dajoën I've published here, for instance, the narrator is never given a name. Sometimes, I just find it makes things a lot easier.

I require clarification; you prefer not to name your characters, so instead you can name your streets? You prefer not to name your characters, because then you start naming everything?

Street. You see: this is why I prefer not to use names at all.

Is Taylee a street? Or a character?

I think I'm just going to stop apologizing for eps like this. Such is life. Tomorrow will be better.
