Haha, I don't know what I'd do without run-on sentences. I feel like I'd lose at least 50% of my writing style without them. = )

Thanks for noticing how hard I work to include the prompt! I always want to come up with some weird take on it, but I still want it to be obvious and integral to the story. This time I was especially happy to include it both literally and figuratively, which is always a fun bonus if I can manage to pull it off.
