    Oh boy! I know we’re all hoping for the last-second-rescue, but Aaron does tend to occasionally throw us curve balls.

    Looks like Holly is thinking of trying to use one of the laundry bins to shield the hole to try to keep the smoke out for a bit longer.

    She finally got Holly’s name right!A daring last second escape, hopefully there isn’t anything unpleasant awaiting our heroes.There are fates far, far worse than fire!

    great expression on Holly’s face in 3. This is a nail-biter.

    It also occurs to me that Jim is probably still alive and since he probably started the fire, he might be waiting at the top of the laundry chute.

    Yes, the fire may be running low on oxygen needed to burn, and opening the door, may cause the flames to go chasing the oxygen. Yeah, I think Holly will try to block the chute after she goes in. Voting links for Endtown etc. in profile. Thanks, JusSayin

    Holly, Chic and Irving were blocking the laundry chute to keep the poisonous gas from getting to them. I’m not saying the poisonous gas was phosgene, but that is a poisonous gas I have the most experience with, well, except chlorine, but plain chlorine gas, as harsh as it is … Phosgene gas is destroyed by incineration. Perhaps other poisonous gases are best destroyed with fire. From outer space. So even if the gas has not sufficiently dispersed, fire could neutralize the paralyzing or poisonous effects of some poisonous gases. I am remembering the statue of the mutant, shot in the back with in arrow. Lizards may have poisoned the non-lizards, and then shot them in the back while they were trying to get away from the poison. Remember to submit your entries for the name of the current Lizardtopia to Aaron Neathery at aaronneathery@gmail.com. Hmm, Aaron may have not said if he wants the name the Dragons call the place, the TopSiders call the place, or the name someone like Darling Niki Mallard might have on the map. Because while we may call our planet Earth, or Sol3 or Terra (as G_d is my witness…) the Andromedans and Zetans(that’s what we call them) call Earth… Immagonna quit typing now. Lord, I was Born a Ramblin’ Man, JusSayin

    The most nail-biting part is trying to guess Kirbee’s reaction to suddenly having to haul Holly and Chic. She may become annoyed by their presumptuousness and decide to drop them.

    Never seen anything in the sky that I couldn’t figure out what it was.I suppose the character of the fire will depend somewhat on what’s on the other side of that door. (I haven’t thumbed back through my printouts to figure it out.) Inclined to go along with the majority; big blast of flame right through the room.

    Veteran,I can relate to a lot of that. As a kid I was diagnosed as hyperactive, was put on ritalin for awhile and spent grades one thru seven in special ed. I also have a strong emotional detachment from things and people. I spent a lot of my time alone with my imagination and never really felt the need for human companionship.While I sometimes have trouble being mentally focused, I have generally thought these symptoms (along with my inability to read human nonverbal communication) were related to Asperger’s Syndrome. It makes me wonder if there could be some overlap or if it is possible to have a little ADD combined with Asperger’s. Fascinating…
