It is called stone mattress. I am pleased to have her back at this table. Welcome. Why did you return . It just kind of happens. The first one, i really was on a boat in the arctic and i really did start writing a story about how you would murder someone on the boat in the arctic and get away with it. And there really were five people called bob on board five people called bob . It was a number so you can change them. You call them tales. I did not want people to think it was realistic even though we kind of are. I do not think there are any real zombies or anything in the story. There are certainly people interested in cut off hands that crawl around by themselves and other memes of the form. You would think that short stories would be easier, but it is not necessarily so. It is not necess
