I made it to Clear and quit on a win. In the story Rick probably doesn’t go Clear. He’s in too much of a bind.

T.C.–Thanks soooo much for your reply. When your phenomenal novel has been completed and published, I intend to be one of the first among the many, many thousands of buyers who will cause it to be a #1 Best Seller.

“It was terrible to be named the enemy when I had no idea why I was targeted.”

The more I read stuff like this, the less sorry I feel for these insane Sea Org people.

Utterly crazy criminals both then and now.

Right now in present time I personally know of 3 young, newly joined up SO members being turned into the human equivalent of junkyard dogs.

With apologies to the latter because I’m a dog lover.

“…toning down Joan’s corpse.” LOL! Terra, suggest your watching the film “Rear Window” (NO pun intended) and in the DVD commentary there is Hitchcock’s secret for creating sudden and powerful impacts using subtle bits of business. Different medium, I know, but the concept is the same and it might assist you when you edit. But let me say once more that you’ve got a vibrant story. Real energy here!

I’m an editor by trade, so they pay me to be picky. ?

Oh yes I am sure that is true. I was very isolated from the Class V Orgs & Missions @ Asho. I knew of them but my main Intention as far as my post was Stats Up every Thurs at 2:00pm & get those who should be on the SHSBC Stat! I missed out on some dedicated staff that I wish I had known further down the bridge. The Sea Org really was trained to be oblivious to anything other than Source, in my opinion. I love all your work, I read and archive it. Thank you.?

Me too. I was holding my breath, literally.

Wynski: Good point.

Yep: I should have written “Joan.”
