I finished reading "The Crucifixion of Annia" to get a sense of flavor for a Roman themed story, and boy am I depressed. That is one sad, *sad* story. I was going to sit down and write some more of a story, but I just can't now.

Since I don't like feeling sad alone, I'm going to share my misery with the rest of the forum. Hope you're satisfied, C. A. Smith. You made a cute aquatic mammal really sad.
