The happy times and comedy lasted only for a short time. Now we are back to the drama. This story is more pathetic and rant worthy than it is sad and tear-jerking. If you've been following the conversation in the chatbox, you know what I'm talking about. This story really raised the hackles of the OS members who have already read it. Hahaha! I think, though, that the strong emotions we felt while reading this one-shot are signs of good storytelling. Needless to say, I feel sorry for the janitor. He got trapped in the web of a needy 14-year old girl. Male readers, let this be a lesson. If she looks young, just walk on by...just walk on by...Nothing good can come from stopping and giving the girl even the least bit of attention.

Next up! Next will be a very messed up one-shot from Kuro Lala. It's subtle at first, but once you realize what happened, don't be surprised if your stomach does a little flip. I was honestly shocked and wondered how something so sick in concept could appear in Lala...ugh...but at the same time oh, so good. After that, I'll try to find something happy that's close to being done to release before we continue on with more Kuro/Shiro Lala drama.
