hudgirl.livejournal.comAs an update to my post below:  I received a copy of it from "ice_whisper" - thank you so much.  So I have it electronically, plus I found in Wayback Machine the prelude to it called "Second Chances" and saved it.  Will be happy to send if you email me at: spshudnut@aol.com.

Within the last couple of weeks someone posted here looking for a fic that had a part about Brian wearing his shell bracelet to hide a scar on his wrist. I've been re-reading Karla's "The C Word" and came across a passage exactly like that.  Michael and Ben are talking about Brian and his cancer and would he just give up; Michael shares with Ben after Ben asks if Brian has ever been suicidal. The bracelet and scar are then mentioned.  Now, unfortunately I only have a paper copy of the story and Karla's site is no longer available as far as I can tell.  
If anyone has an e-version of it and other stories by Karla, I'd really love to have a copy.  Thanks.  SHirls
