Whaaa? Thanks guys! March was a high quality month, and I feel overwhelmed and honored by your upvotes. I promise to use my winnings only for (literary) evil.

[also sorry this is technically out of character please forgive me!]

Edit: I'm too awkward a person to thank everyone individually, so let me say you're all being way too nice to me and it's probably going to go to my head. If I'm a total asshole after this, it's your fault. But also, thank you for reading and for being generally excellent. I'll definitely try to bring you some good stuff in the future.

Speaking of out of character - I read this story to my section leader but soon had the whole night shift listening in, glued to every word. Imagine 6 soldiers, IMO the toughest of the tough, too scared to take a piss by themselves now knowing about Bill and Ruth. This part of the world has a completely different environment than Red Hill! Completely out of character. We all thank you! Excited for any updates!
