Glass Bottles 2 "Hassenpfeffer"

I am going to post up the NaNoWriMo novel here as parts over the next three months. I'm using this venue to afford myself the opportunity to re-write parts of the novel and (hopefully) garner criticism and commentary so that I can understand in my writing what worked, what didn't work, and why. The only way you learn is to let people see your stuff and get feedback. So here we go. Thanks in advance to any who comment. I appreciate any and all. :)
