And the story will come back. Like they say in the horror movies, “They always do.”

Actually the story is already thought out and about a third written. I don’t think I’ll have the time to finish it before the semester ends. I can’t tell you too much about it because there is a surprise about the setting (you’re right about the surprise bit) and the end of the journey.

I guess I did jinx it because I wasn’t able to work on it after the summer. :-(

Avert avert! It’s about a caterpillar who befriends a lost child and becomes its mother. It’s about an otter and a peacock who save a country from itself. It’s about a mysterious cloud of neutrinos who coalesce inot a visible cloud one day in a physics professor’s office and communicates in a mix of Italian and mathematics shorthand that turns out to be a formula for a non-polluting laundry detergent. It’s all of these tied together in the theme of surprise. (Phew, I hope this helps, but I’m worried it’s too late. Please let me know.)
