	If you did watch The Killing -- the first two seasons, anyway -- then you may find yourself making some noises of recognition at what I felt was a terribly missed opportunity. But that show made everyone in it horrible anyway, so I decided to fix it with cute gay smoochies and handjobs. If you didn't watch the Killing, eh, it's not a bad way to kill some time and it's all streamable on Netflix. Just don't expect the politician and his loyal aide to actually kiss.

	I wouldn't say I ran out of space on this one, since I don't feel like I rushed too much, but I pushed it to the wire; I stopped about 500 characters short of the limit on both halves. However, seeing the upper bound come so quickly involved re-visioning a few things, including a scene that would have made it clearer that Mauri is a transwoman. Maybe I'll save the story of her epic romance with Dr. Bey for some future July issue....

	Finally, [[morgie]] both was a delight to work with and created the perfect illustration for the story! I'm still starry-eyed over how beautiful it is. I feel like I always thank my artists with a side note of 'and I can't believe they didn't run away when I said what the story was about!', but really, it takes special determination to agree to draw a man who's suffered a cranial gunshot wound, but in a sexy way.</BLOCKQUOTE>		Finally, [[morgie]] both was a delight to work with and created the perfect illustration for the story!
