His &#8220;The Great Basilisk Race&#8221; is good story that doesn&#8217;t follow the &#8220;everything works out fine&#8221; formula: the main character makes a difficult choice and then has to live with the consequences. I give him kudos for not giving in to the temptation to wrap things up too neatly &#8212; it made his story much more realistic than others I&#8217;ve seen.<\/p>\n<p>As for my story, well &#8230; as
