(Hello! Welcome to a new mini-series of sorts I’m calling “It Came From The Archives!” where we highlight old articles that we’ve had on the site.

I’m actually not going to…
This week’s Friday Fiction won’t be released until later today, so, for now, you’re just going to have to be satisfied with this.
