New stuff: What rough beast, its hour come round at last and This grew; I gave commands;
Then all smiles stopped together.

Also, Knight Rider is going to be a movie! (No real info in the story.) That, along with SciFi remaking Battlestar Galactica, satisfies my flashing red light-love.

And finally, if I ask really, really nicely, would someone make a SV video to the following, because Sondheim is fun:
Mother said,
"Straight ahead,"
Not to delay
or be misled.
I should have heeded her advice...
But he seemed so nice.

And he showed me things,
Many beautiful things,
That I hadn't thought to explore.
They were off my path,
So I never had dared.
I had been so careful,
I never had cared.
And he made me feel excited--
Well, excited and scared.

When he said, "Come in!"
With that sickening grin,
How could I know what was in store?
Once his teeth were bared,
Though, I really got scared--
Well, excited and scared--
But he drew me close
And he swallowed me down,
Down a dark slimy path
Where lie secrets that I never want to know,
And when everything familiar
Seemed to disappear forever,
At the end of the path
Was Granny once again.

So we wait in the dark, until someone sets us free
And we're brought into the light
And we're back at the start.

And I know things now, many valuable things
That I hadn't known before
Do not put your faith in a cape and a hood
They will not protect you the way that they should
And take extra care with strangers
Even flowers have their dangers
And though scary is exciting,
Nice is different than good.

Now I know, don't be scared
Granny is right, just be prepared
Isn't it nice to know a lot?
And a little bit not.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was the first SV story I started, and its slow evolution probably has something to do with the troublesome pacing issues. But I'm basically happy with its component parts, and I appreciate the recommendation.
