a progress report for your unending entertainment
I may pass the magical quintuple digit barrier tonight. Meaning that I'll only be 15,ooo words off target. I'm transcribing the myth of the extinction of the dinosaurs related to me by Quinton Fitzgerald Olberstaff, an obscure member of the British Royal Society. He did his best work during the 19th century. He's really old. I'm not sure if I'll mention him too much in the story proper, but apparently he was the missing link in a previous life, during which time he engineered the extinction of the dinosaurs unleashing the most voracious genocidal midget t-rex that ever lived on the super-continent of Pangaea. Mr. Olberstaff continually assures me that I'm not making this up.

"Stratify my nutsack, things haven't been this crazy since before I can remember." said Bilix.
"Eh, I've seen worse." replied Ditie .
"Lets take stock of the situation here. Some thing's up."
"I don't see why we should, I mean it's pretty obvious. The frogs are coming home to roost. Think about it, everything is here because some such thing came crawling out of the oceans ages ago. Frogs are amphibians. They're the missing link between the oceans and the land. They're just reminding us of their evolutionary importance."
"No one talks like that."
"I do."
"ahuh."
ribit, ribit.
Bilix needed more than just his mind to process his thoughts, intense thinking was always evident on the surface. It seemed to be a bit of a strain. "There could be a lot of levels at work here. I mean it could be anything. What if the atoms are upset, or worse the superstrings?"
"Bilix I strum on the super strings of the guitar of god and live to tell the tale. You're over reacting."

The bald man walked down a corridor muttering to himself, a bad habit he'd developed over the years."I am a singularity in the space time continuum of life. I am the Robinson Crusoe of post-modernity. I am the missing link in the horror that is the Human Genome. I am your brain on imaginary magic mushrooms. I am..." He pushed a button unlocking a heavy set steel door "...very happy to see you Mizz Canada."
Canada looked up, she wasn't impressed.
