Dan, the reading is very good. There were no problems or inconsistencies - only the little flub at the very end.
A very nice job

Thanks Cheryl! After looking at what happened I realized that I was using Studio One to record (I'm trying to use punch and roll recording, which Audacity doesn't support) and put the end tag in the wrong place. Also, it should be I am a nucleus and I said "I am an Amoeba"

Anyways, I went back, rerecorded that and have it all set to upload except for 2 things: I'm not sure how I should upload it (same file name in the same place?) and also it's 1:02:33, which is just over the requested story time. Can we call that "close enough" or should I find a shorter story?

I 'll step in here... yes, use the same file name. It overwrites the original file (which is kept but renamed, until I delete it

)
For 1:02, yes, that's OK. Strictly speaking, the limit is 72 minutes per file, but for the collections we say 60, because 'we' have found listeners get restless if they are longer.

I am holed up in a hotel after the 2nd leg of our cross-country move. Will see how the internet works this evening.
