Thank you Mr. Straczynski. Thank you Ms. Cavelos.

Today I read the last 95 pages of "Casting Shadows" and then topped that off
with watching "Sleeping in Light." My mastery of language is not yet sufficient
to fully explain the emotional impact these fictional stories had on me. I will
say though that about 3 months worth of tears escaped me today.

You both *transcended* normal writing and created something that had a direct
connection from the pages to my heart. I know that writing these stories was no
simple feat for you two. I like to think that whenever we write something, a
part of us is attached to it. I thank you both for sharing a part of yourselves
with me.

Normally I wouldn't say these things on a public Newsgroup, but since you two
publicly shared your feelings with us -- through your stories -- I thought I
could survive posting this in public.

Then the job was worth doing, because they do not evaporate, they only build
up, and the storms come harder when they come.

Good luck.
