I really enjoyed the take on Eric.

Quote:
By the first night, he was cold. His coat no longer seemed as sturdy as he'd thought when the winds whistled through him, but he still hadn't figured out what to do. By the second night, he was hungry. His stomach twisted in knots and his Power Bar supply was gone, but he still didn't know what to do. The third night it rained. He lay on the rotting log, holding a thin plastic sheet over his head and wishing he could sleep, or make up his mind.

The next morning, he woke to find that he'd rolled off the log and landed on the ground. One side of him was covered in mud. All of his belongings were soaked and a November wind was chilling him to the bone. He still didn't know what he would do, give up on the new love he had with Mary or leave April - whom he still cared for deeply - to raise a child alone. But the cold, the rain, and the mud were not helping him see a solution. He decided to go back to town. He could still ponder his problem in his office, and at least it was dry.
The image of this really got me laughing! Not surprised that Eric resolve his problem. I have a feeling, though, that it's going to be resolved for him.

Quote:
April and Mary stood, their arms linked, looking down at him.
"Eric. We heard you were back," said April.
Eric merely sputtered. He wondered briefly how long he'd been in the woods. He instinctively clutched at his face. His beard didn't seem to have grown exponentially.
AND
Quote:
April. And Mary. Standing together. Saying 'we'. What had happened while he was gone? Had he come back to a parallel universe? What did they want to 'discuss'? He considered the possibility it was some kind of trap.."
Eric gulped, but stepped forward.
Too funny!

Mary and April, friends? An interesting concept. The part where they were comparing notes on Eric over a game of darts really cracked me up.  I can just imagine what Eric's life is going to be like living with two such strong women!
