I posted a new section for the on-going SIGI story I’m using as a test-bed on the Wattpad platform.

One day of the convention has passed by. We pulled in at about 2:15 after an 8-hour drive from Denver to Omaha, Nebraska for OsFest5. Special thanks go out to Guy De Marco and his lovely wife T. L. De Marco for putting pretty much all of this even together for Peter J. Wacks and me. Last
