So I am officially stuck on the next part to "Best Laid Plans".  I have half a chapter and I'm vainly working on the rest of it.  But it might take me a while.

To be honest, I'm in a dark and depressing mood lately.  Work has been really horrible, and while I usually love my job, a person can only take so much death and dying especially when one deals with pediatric patients, like I do.

However, I was able to successfully write a short 100-word Phantom of the Opera drabble.  It's posted over on ff.net, but I figure I might as well post it here too.
