Back in 2005, I started writing an original novel.  I lost it, unfortunately, when my hard drive went up in smoke (you'd really think I'd learn, wouldn't you?).  Well, through the miracles of gmail, I found, quite by accident, what was supposed to be chapter one.  Reading it back, I can tell my style has changed quite a bit since then, more than I realized, and certainly for the better, but I think it's a fun read.  I'm debating whether I should pursue re-writing this first bit and perhaps trying to finally get off my creative hiney and write about my own darned characters sometime.   I don't know.  Anyway, since this is my LJ, and I'm in a sharing mood, I'm posting this. Feel free to blast it all to hell if you're bored.  I'm kind of curious what a random person who has no idea what my creative plan for this story was would think. 

WARNING!  The following story chapter has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Grey's, Patrick Dempsey, fanfic, or anything remotely related to what I've posted prior to this date!
