Hi there,

       "First we sharpen the ends of these two." Akane hacked away
at the end of one log until it was formed into a rough point.
"Then we make holes in this one where we want them to connect."
Akane pointed to the third log.

What is she hacking with?  They havn't been using tools so far as I
can tell other than Ukyo's stick.

*I suspect she's using her bare hands.*

       Ukyo's cheeks reddened and he subtlely held the gourd in
front of crotch. "Yeah, I think so."

He waves when she walked past, but the gourd stayed where it hangs...

*I was trying to come up with something for that scene....*

       Somewhat reluctantly, he followed her back inside. They each
had their own pallet, and a rush curtain in between the two.

Would I lose everyone completely if I called that "The Walls of
Jericho?"

*Nope.  "It Happened One Night".  Thanks.  I've been trying to spot as 
many hypothetical influences on this as I can, and I missed that one.*

Somehow, I get the feeling this baby isn't going to survive....  Hell,
the dog didn't last long and this island is death.

My suspicion is that the child is actually going to be possessed by 
whatever dark power is the island.

Uh, 'til next time mon ami!

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds
new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" ("I found it!") but rather
"hmm....that's funny..."
