Or some homeless guy.

Patrick my hometown is also Ste Rose. For many years I have driven by the old swamp shack where you took a color photo of and it was placed in Flicker. I am not tech savvy and I lost all of my old photos of the swamp shack from my camera. The shack has now collapsed. Is it possible for you to fwd to me one copy of your photo for memory sake to my email address.

Much Appreciated

Ron Adam

I was commenting that the enclosing elements are either div or span tags.

This could be rectified using a small font size, or stacking the elements vertically. You may wish to consider a iPhone/Android specific app icons, so that the site is visible from the home screen of said devices. Right now it just shows a compressed image of the site itself.

Other than these minor issues, I think the site itself looks great, and is a fantastic improvement to the old site!

As to “ought”: that was actually intentional. All through the story, Stella uses questionable word choices (“For cake’s sake”, “boondoggy”, etc, culminating in the one that still makes me, the author, giggle: “Oh, piss”). Just one more aspect of her, um, unfamiliarity with her place in this world, shall we say.

but I missed it. “Naught” would fit as well…

Just one thing to mention though, the difference between “ought”, loosely meaning should and aught meaning any or zero.

Details, details… where would we be without them?

Anyway, good job on the story.
