I just reached a convenient break in my story.

http://www.teleport.com/~flee/a-chance-death.txt (33k)

dj clawson's archive should have this version on the next
update.

teaser: this is sort of mostly a Pastmaster story.  but most
of it doesn't show up until part 2.  in the meantime, the
swat kats fight dragons over megakat city, while mayor manx
gets in trouble.
