So, that was the story of how I found my sister. Didja dig it? Well, didja? Seems many of you did. Thanks for all of the kudos. Some of you asked about whether I had other ambitions for this story. Screenplay or whatnot. That was the original idea. But, possibly going to go the graphic novel/comic book route. As suggested by friends in the comic biz. Any artists out there interested in being a part of history? Because you know it's gonna sell gajillions! Then be made into a movie starring Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Or Joaquin and Rain Phoenix. No? How about Donny and Marie Osmond? Maybe Luke and Leia Skywalker? No? Bart and Lisa Simpson? Hmmmm....I'll just have to leave that up to central casting.
Stay tuned. This story is not over!
Awesome story, but I didn't quite buy the denouement. The whole thing with the mother suddenly deciding to backpedal and tell the truth - I don't know, it's way too deus ex machina for my tastes. You need to search for clues and evidence in a lost city under the subway tunnels or something. And some sort "grand gesture" akin to Lloyd Dobler standing on the roof of his car holding a boombox over his head. That's the sort of thing the kids these days are into. Kids these days, with their "Say Anything" and their MTV video games....

You need to get her into the city so we can all meet her face to face. Great story.
