SPOILERISH
 However, you wouldn't want to spoil a plot point for me now would you Marie?

Ha!  I knew the eye color talk wasn't thrown in there for nothin'!  You've always got something up your sleeve, Louise!  And in this story, I'd say both sleeves at least!  :laugh:

well you know, I start out writing a stream-of-consciousness deep psychological insight story and end up writing another mystery and detective thing.  I guess I just can't help it!

And I thought my heart was breaking for Colson before.   :'(  Oh, dear.  I can't even imagine what that would be like.  And what a god-awful frightening feeling for Ellery to have as well.  To have a chunk of your life just disappear on you.  I figured Ellery had gone into a coma, but I know next to nothing about this kind of stuff, and now it appears that his short-term memory is suffering along with his amnesia b/c Colson's been coming into his room for a week and it looks like they're going through some kind of Groundhog Day.   :-\   

I don't have to tell you that you've got us on the edge of our seats here, Louise!  Terrific storytelling.

Strangely enough I would have liked that as a starting point - as long as you immediately went back and explained everything.  I just started reading this story a couple of days ago and as usual I'm completely sucked in.  Great story, Louise!  You've got me completely hooked.

I thought about it and considered the pros and cons before I decided to do it this way.  Anyway... onward and upward!

Chapter 24

Gosh, Louise, I'm taking deep breaths here.

I'm ready for some positive news about Ellery now.  :-\ But, like Colson, I guess I'm just going to have to be patient.

Like Marie said, fantastic storytelling.  :)

Now I'm completely lost.  Was chap 23 a figment of Ellery's coma?
