Terrific! I tell you one thing though.. if the story was to end without last two paras, it would have been a complete but unrealistic story. How I wish such things happened in real life! *sigh* Anyway, what can I say about the later part! Well, that’s all that happens in this crooked world! Anyway, one more of your readers is back! Will mail on extreme graphics (if at all it exists!)
