That's a wild adrenaline ride

That's a wild adrenaline ride. Great writing is this, Jane.
Very topical as we get a lot of street racing around here. Off to read the other parts.

All caught up again. Still engrossed.
I like the whole sliding doors theme then the analogy with photons sharing the same space at the same time. Kind of Pullman-esque (quantum physics in a fantasy tale).
