Excellent. If I'm not mistaken, you look poised to do all these challenges and catch up. Am I right? That would be awesome If you do so, and I get to watch it happen. @Kelly did the same thing. It took her months, but she did it. I hope you try. @Steven: I love how your mind works. Excellent. If I’m not mistaken, you look poised to do all these challenges and catch up. Am I right?

Barely even <strong>human</strong>. Well past <strong>childbearing</strong> age, and verging on the doddering <strong>cupcake</strong> age. But my children are still my life. Threaten them again, <strong>butternut</strong>, and this <strong>fanatic</strong>al <strong>honeybee</strong> will <strong>hammer</strong> your brains <strong>all over the place</strong>, and that's a <strong>promise</strong>!" I ran, of course, as fast as my eight-year-old legs would carry me. "Damn, granny, all I said was Trick or treat!" The elderly woman at the door stopped smiling. “Invincible? Hardly. Barely even human. Well past childbearing age, and verging on the doddering cupcake age. But my children are still my life. Threaten them again, butternut, and this fanatical honeybee will hammer your brains all over the place, and that’s a promise!”

She shuffled forward, intently <strong>hammer</strong>ing her chrome quill on the palm of her hand. “She was a <strong>fanatic</strong>! She was trying to destroy the very fabric of Shan Earth Ur.”   “I’m not sure I believe you,” I said.   “That’s a shame, <strong>Cupcake</strong>” she said. “You actually had me considering <strong>childbearing</strong>, again.” Velvet smelled of <strong>butternut</strong> shampoo and mothballs—somewhat less interesting than before.   I tried to imagine what must lie beneath her <strong>honeybee</strong> housecoat. My thoughts perverted <strong>all over the place</strong>.   “It’s a pity. Our child would have been <strong>invincible</strong>,” she said. “But I can see you are ready for this to be over. And it will soon.” She dipped her chrome quill.   “I <strong>promise</strong>.”   And it was—THE END.
