ROUGH DRAFT AS IN I JUST FINISHED WRITING THIS WITH ONE READ-THROUGH.

I think it'll be a fairly lengthy short-story; maybe even three short stories.  I don't know.  This may be the beginning or it may be in the middle somewhere.  I have very little idea of what's up with anyone, especially Jackie.  I just desperately don't want her to become a Mary-Sue of any flavor.  But please please please give me some initial feedback.
