Well, the Sentinel story didn't get finished quite in time, but maybe tomorrow :)

I didn't help myself by deciding (I think it was three in the morning, always a good time for making decisions, no?) that it really did have to be in second person present tense (I like writing in 2nd person, I've found... and even more for these little bits of humour. And I like Jim in 2nd person). So today I edited what I had from 3nrd to 1st and added a bit more...

Maybe it isn't quite that simple to make.

Not if the smell is anything to go by. Not so much jungle mulch any more but graveyard mulch, with more than a bit of the grave occupants through in. You squint at the package again, then at the box it came in, to see if it did mention anything about the ingredients being illegal, immoral, inconceivably awful or just plain deadly.

But of course it doesn't, because Sandburg had worked out early that he has MUCH lower odds of getting any of these 'test' mixtures of his down his Sentinel's throat if said Sentinel has the slightest chance of actually finding out what is mixed up in them. Labels tend to come off and get well and truly lost before there is any chance that you'll be able to use super-or-otherwise vision on them.
