- One silent, unseen tear rolls down Tanais' muzzle. It's a time for
- moving on he knows. But there is also pain in letting go. It *must*
- happen in order to move on -- he knows and he now has more in common
- with Merry Tail than in 8 years of their past relationship.
-
- "This hurts," he thinks, "but it has to be" and the last of his
- tequila is drained from the jug. He thinks of the uncertainty of the
- future and the frightening shadows in the past (that, for this night
- don't seem so frightening) and wonders just how different 1993 will
- be.
-
- But love and friendship is important -- life would be unbearable
- without at least one of them (he stops in RL to pat Cicero, our cat
- -- often mistaken for a meat loaf). Tanais looks over past threads to
- check the status of the Dalek (i.e. is he still in the hot tub?) and
- he prepares to wash and groom himself. ("Mmm. This is gonna feel
- *good!*" he says to himself).
-
- Tanais stretches and yawns... he feels it in his delicate bones. 1993
- will be a year of love, of searching and ultimately of finding -- if
- he's really honest with himself, it'll be a bit like 1992 only less
- of a roller coaster ride.
-
- No peeking whilst I get in the hot tub okay? ;-).
