He set about doing the dishes with a sort of wild abandon he had never known in his youth, had never imagined possible. One, two! One, two! Plates and glasses, forks and knives, all fell before him. One, two! One, two! "Snicker-snack!" he shouted, startling the cat.

Other authors whose works are involved in the Anthropic settlement, are you making a claim? If so and you are traditionally published, are you accepting the “Default” recovery option or filing for the “Alternative” option?
