Labryinths:
It was a story called "sea breeze" that was posted by Paccehh, and was found to be owned by somebody else. I'd rather not drag the whole thing out of the closet.
However, I asked Paccehh to give the stories real author credit on the posts, but it hasn't been done yet. I also asked a Mod to hide the posts and that hasn't been done yet either.
I will ask again. =/

A question, Logan:
~ Another example of this is here: “Floating down past the suspended lights, he landed softly on the strange-looking path,” - the word “past” means “preceding”, the word “passed* means “went by”. ~
I've looked at this, but it just doesn't seem right. I was quite sure "passed" was merely past tense for "pass," eg. "I passed the shop on my way to work."
In the form: "He passed the suspended lights as he floated down, and then landed softly on the strange-looking path." It seems to work, but in the context I used, should it not be similar to "It flew past?"
I only ask because I'm re-posting the story on my thread. Thanks :)

ITIalevolent:
I believe you're correct in your usage of 'past', for modern english.
What I was talking about initially has turned out (from googling it) to be a rule that is a bit old-fashioned.
So I wouldn't worry about it.
Sorry it took so long for me to reply, I havn't been around for a bit (work).
Thanks,
-Logan.

Ah ok, good :)
Well the edited version of my 'One the Sea' story is on my thread now, if you get some free time. It's called 'The Story of the Alone Girl.'
