I just happened to be online, and it was a delight to suddenly find a story dropping into my inbox! :)

The three sentences definitely worked and the theyfelt very natural! :P I find that when I'm doing those, some of my sentences can get a little...strained, with semicolons as a transparent attempt to write more sentences, and I'm always very impressed with and mildly envious of fills like this one, which don't feel that way!
