It's Away, part 2

Well, this evening I put a story into BAEN's slush conference, which absolutely terrifies me because I'm not 100% certain how that works. I lost a bit of formatting in the translation as well, but I hope that doesn't affect readability too much.

I suppose my major concern is getting it back. I know they say you can write them and withdraw a story, but somehow this seems strangely permanent, and I didn't feel that way until after I clicked the POST button.

I'm experiencing 'post-submission dissonance'.

This is "Touching the Dead", BTW.
