The fine people at Phantas Magoria (http://community.livejournal.com/fantas_magoria/profile) influenced me to write within episodes. My stories used to be rather timeless.

Based on comments from the previous chapter, I'm wondering if this moves too quickly. Might have been interesting to leave Spike alive and see what he'd do. That would have been a different story though, not ending up where I'd planned this one to go.
