Thank you to all who read and commented on my story; I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I haven't shared it with Ed Meskys yet; I don't have his Email, but am willing to look it up.

I was thinking of sending this off to Asimov's Science Fiction magazine if reaction to the story was good.  Thank you for confirming my opinion of the piece.

I found it interesting that the line about compensating the Indians for the loss of casino revenue got special mention as a funny line.  It was meant to be a straight line to move the story along.  I guess that I've lived in the DC area too long; nothing the Feds do shock me anymore.

Once more thanks; and I'm glad you liked it.  It was incredibly fun to write; won't be as fun to clean up, but then, that's part of the process to.

Have a blessed weekend.

Shawn

Wonderful.  i chuckled all the way through.  Have you shared this with Ed Meskys?  He's on the Science Fiction list.
