T.L. Odell Foundations Part 0/6 Feedback to tlco777@juno.com PG for minor violence, very mild profanity The story takes place after "Recuperation" but can be read on its own. Main character: DM Archive: 7th Dimension. The violence Duncan dislikes in his lifestyle turns out to be the catalyst for reclaiming the life of a friend. Standard Disclaimers apply Thanks to Sandra (you need more conflict) McDonald for all her help, including throwing bleach all over my purple prose. Thanks also to Janeen Grohsmeyer for her invaluable commentary and suggestions. Jessica, I appreciate the encouragement. You're still in the will. And thanks to Amy, my own private "Little Deer" whose botanical knowledge is indispensable. Any remaining flaws and errors are strictly my own.
