A Look Behind The Screen:
Before anyone asks or comments: Yes, Lorencz stops stuttering when he reminisces about the con, and no, that wasn’t a “cheat” to cut the length down to nirvana.

So Lorencz is faking the stutter to appear stupid. Nice twist.

so Lorencz stutters when he’s scared of the Abomination, but when hes’ thinking of more pleasant things his stutter disappears. i buy it. Good series, Young Frankenstein-ish.

also afraid of Dr. Reinhardt, aaa the Germans’ as villian, classic.

Lab assistant and abomination as RPG nerds. I love it. Took me a bit to get the ‘make a character’, but I got it. And yes, stutters, tics and other nervous disorders can increase or decrease depending on emotional state, stress level, etc.

Intesting to see at least three interpretations of why/how Lorencz stutters!
I’m not trying to Bogart anyone’s ficlets, just jumping in when I have a notion – please add your own contributions to the series. I sort of feel like the big collaborative chains of the early days of this site, where six or seven people might keep the story going, may be waning: I’d love to see some more joint efforts!

20 points for knowing the word kunoichi. :)
