Conflation —Part 2

Greetings and salutations, dear readers! You can thank toughlovemuse for this (or blame her, as the case may be), but I've finally got my act together enough to write a second installment of Conflation. There was a writing jam this evening, and I finished what I started at work, as well as about 500 words of the third installment. I still don't know where the story is going, but I guess that'll just be part of the excitement.

Here goes!
