Delays, Related Profits, and Emotional Eruptions

The vote was actually kind of close, but "Pick Lindsay" had an early lead so I gambled that it would be the winner and wrote it yesterday. So here it is: "Invalid Item"  (public) and "When Second Thoughts Come Too Late"  (interactive). Yes, the story stretches out a little more without reaching that climactic moment.

Well, that's they way it emerged. It's one of the things that's been rubbing at the back of mind over the last few chapters: How does Caleb feel about all this, and why is he going along with it? It all came boiling in the above chapter, and after it was out it felt to me like it needed to.

But I tried turning the delay to profit elsewhere. If Lindsay only winds up as a golem, that will set up more and different choices for Will. Don't take that as implying a preference on my part. The only preference I have is ... that Will have lots of choices.
