I have whole lot more to add, but I was short on time... Someday I might pick this story back up and finish it.
Thanks for your vote and comment

So.. I have been away for a few weeks. School is back in session so I don't have a lot of time to mash, but I noticed that for round 9 the deadline is tomorrow and there still are no entries. So, what gives? Is there going to be an extension of the dead line, or is the contest/story dead?

Good job. There were a few typos and run-ons that were distracting, but overall I think you did a good job of moving the story forward.

Yes, thank you. I think that this story has failed because not enough people have paid attention to important details; like story structure and plot.

I agree with wannabe. I myself am confused about where this story should go next, but maybe an extension could get the creative juices flowing.
But I also agree with rocklee. I think that things should be kept fair for those who do get their story in before the deadline.
Maybe if there are not more than five entries you could extend the deadline by a few days.

Who runs storymash, and how did storymash come to be?

Thank you for you comments. I know I could have spent an extra two hours on this chapter, and I wish I would have. A lot of my ideas were left undeveloped, but I was leaving town and didn't have the time to really finish. I also didn't want to miss the deadline.
So... I might give this contest one more stab, but right now I am a little discouraged.

Ok. Well thank you for your time.

so... still confused....

wow. Thanks for the comments honeygloom. I will work on my level of emotion. Is there anything about my chapter that you did like?
