Very good, Dave Bryant! Hey, whaddya mean "calls himself..."??

That truncated last post of mine was supposed to look like I'd been swallowed whole by The Thing That Came From Under The Floorboards, just as I brought my torch to bear (think about the captain of the Nostromo, crawling around in the air shafts in 'Alien'). There's no fooling you lot, is there?!

Maybe suspense thrillers aren't my strong point.
