		<description>I don't know why exactly but this reminds me of a series of books you used to love before you lost your memory.  A leper who involuntarily goes back and forth from reality to a world of magic.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Foul's_Bane

You used to like it a lot but I could never get into it myself.

I like the blog writing.  Like the biggest choose your own adventure book in the world.</description>

		<description>Eric, it depends on how you define "life." Ghosts aren't alive. Vampires, I'd argue yes, just a different kind of life. Frankenstein? Sure he's alive. Unless he's the Edgar Winter Group's 1973 #1 single.</description>

		<description>Except Dracula, of course.  Or zombies.  Or ghosts.  Okay, and maybe you could argue about Frankenstein.  Never mind, I posted before I'd thought it through.  I do that sometimes.  Dammit.  ARRRGH!</description>

		<description>Oh, you all think &lt;i&gt;Shawn&lt;/i&gt; turned an eleven-year-old girl into an alien-destroying monster.  Interestingly, a line that Shawn tossed off inadvertently plays into a somewhat ghoulish idea I had.  As if the Brain Of Shawn were reading the mind of the little man standing on the shoulders of giant midgets.  Still, I might protest, I didn't make her into a "monster."  Monsters are usually alive.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;By the time this gets around to you, Sophie’s probably going to be a 50 year old dwarf prostitute in a 1750’s Paris brothel.&lt;/i&gt;

Yeah, but I could write THAT!</description>

		<description>Heck, I was thinking of changing spaceforce academy to beauty school. ;)

Shawn, this is great!  Good job with creating a believable POV shift, and laying down some loose ends that other writers can pick up on.</description>
