Yes
I don't like this story all that much, but it's here for completeness. It was written after a LONG hiatus from writing, and wasn't really planned for publication, but the friend for whom I wrote it wanted to put it up on Satin Slippers, where she was an editor at the time.
I never felt it was up to my standards, but with the demise of Satin Slippers, I felt it should live somewhere.
Note: This story was originally published in Mar 2003 under a different author name with a different ending. This is the original version, though with some minor edits to fix technical errors.
