Very good start. And yes, you definitely should leave feedback for stories you like. As you have just discovered, it's like a long drink of ice water after a hot, sweaty day of yard work.

Why wouldn't Lois be sent to room 42? According to the super-super-super computer described in one of Douglas Adams' Hitchiker novels, '42' is the meaning of the universe.

Sorry, I don't understand it either. But I thought of it as soon as Ms. Glutwich (cue frightened horse whinny) told Lois which room to enter.

And why is Lois surprised to have a firearm pointed at her? Surely she hasn't reached her threat quota for the week already. Or has the IRS begun issuing weapons to collection agents?

And yes, this was a very good (or very bad) place to stop. You've guaranteed that I'm tuning in next week, same Super-time, same Super-channel.
