Congrads to Tornello. Your story was one of my two top favorites.

My apologies to all: I didn't get a vote in this time.
I'll see if I can come up with some comments, but I had a real problem with this when I began trying to put votes together: a great deal of the mythology that was referenced is unfamiliar to me, which made me wonder how I would have handled the Challenge aspect of the scores. I never did figure that out.
Anyway, congrats, Rick, you earned it! Very entertaining story.
