Thanks also to the 2009 staff at <em>Leading Edge</em> for publishing <strong>“Decision LZ1527,”</strong> to Brandon Sanderson for his awesome creative writing class at BYU, and to my sometimes cowriter Scott “Toad” Bascom for bouncing off story ideas and offering helpful feedback, solicited and otherwise.</p> <p> </p> </body> </html>
