I'm glad you liked it - and I owe you a major shout-out. I didn't realise until bironic (who I suspect understands my stories better than I do) so astutely pointed it out, but I totally copied you with the sleeping pill thing. It wasn't conscious, but "Slipcovers" really went deep with me, so I have no doubt it was a major subconscious prompt (that and pondering plot points in the pouring rain at a late-night field hockey practice - I tend to have darker thoughts when bored and wet).

I have to admit, it gives me a sense of relief when I find myself slipstreaming on your wavelength - it makes me think I'm on the right track!
