I imagine that other times the story the author wanted to tell gets told, other times it was never meant to be a long-term commitment, just fun for a while. I've also noticed that the site may be cyclical; busy for a while, slow, then it can pick up again. Don't fret, there will be more stories. Katherine is feeling better, but I have a feeling that right now on the Bay Bridge, a young person may be having a harrowing experience . . .
