Thanks Rachael, I look forward to listening. What name would you like to appear in our catalog? Could be your username, or your real name, or another name, but once chosen it will appear next to all the files you read for our books. For example my username is msfry, my Real Name is Michele Fry. With this I can enter your offering into the Magic Window, and it will apply to all other projects as well.

This is rather odd. A story about a one-sided love affair (boy loves girl, girl says Sorry Charlie.). And:GHOSTS! (or corpses?)

Was It A Dream is PL OK. Thank you. Strange story but an interesting concept! Some people do write their own epitaphs, but that is before they die, I believe, not after. :)

PL Notes for Angela

This is one of my favorite love stories. Thanks for contributing it here. I haven't PL'd you before, so let me just say that other than obvious standard PL'ing, I only point out things I think sound weird or change meaning significantly. You can ignore these if you disagree.

4:37 she threw up her hands in a pretty affectation of despair, you say affection
9:08 'my Angela has known you very long, you say blown
