To do (Summary by Michael Maggs)

Target completion date: 2022-12-31

Prooflistening level: Standard
Prospective PLs, please see the Guide for Proof-listeners.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

Some of these stories may be too long for a single section, but I can add sections as I go on, if need be.

No it's not. Look again. :thumbs:
I am going to my rain-water troughs now to fetch a pail of drinking water.
Bring on the next high-quality rendition. I am being a good boy and am NOT reading ahead in the text.
Cheers, Chris

Had a bit of spare time this morning, so decided to jump over the next for now and fit in a slightly shorter one - The Brothers.
