I would like to request all Judges to send me their Grades, and their decision about Rayne - should she be eliminated for being a no-show, or take her serious medical problem into consideration and let her stay?

It's so sweet of you to think of me, V...And if anyone was worried, I appreciate it but everything's fine...I wasn't actually in the hospital, the surgery was an 'in-office' procedure, it was over a week ago but I didn't mention it here because I didn't think it was any big deal...Anyway, about 4 days after the surgery there was a complication and I had to go back for another small procedure...I was in a horrendous amount of pain and the pain pills they prescribed to me made me feel like I was gonna throw up (pretty much incapacited me, really sucked) so I decided just to take Advil and deal with the residual pain (the pain pissed me off, but at least I could function, unlike with the stupid nausea)...As of now, I'm healing just fine, and the surgery site is really only an annoyance.
Now, for the reason I didn't make this challenge in time:
Ash :)
I knew what I wanted to do, and I was searching for the music I wanted to use...It was to be a 'reverse' zombie type story (just for something different) where the guy fell in love with a girl, but didn't know at first that she was a 'sentient zombie'...She was slowly turning but still possessed most of her faculties, as her 'zombification' began to progress, it became too obvious, the guy figured it out...He decided he wanted to be a zombie too, so she wouldn't have to deal with it alone...She wouldn't turn him because she didn't want him to deal with what she was dealing with...So, he bit HER instead...It worked, and he was slowly turning (think: I, Zombie)...Anyway, the girl just continued to deteriorate until he realized she would soon be gone...He became bitter and angry because she was given this fate, and didn't deserve it...So...He started biting people...Soon the whole town was turned...I wasn't really sure this was 'Romero-ish' enough, but I figured it wouldn't hurt him to try a slightly different angle at this point.
My plan was to write it as a story, adding the music parts where relevant and adding a youtube link to each song so that everyone would know what was going on, if they weren't familiar with the music...The baby just wouldn't let me get it all together...He wouldn't even let me concentrate on it...This, of course, is normal for a baby, and it's also the reason that I was afraid I wouldn't be able to enter this contest in the beginning (I believe I said something like, "I won't be able to concentrate and spend time on 'essay type' challenges" or something close to that).
Anyway...I had fun, this was an excellent idea for a competition, V...Kudos to you :)
And I have to say that I am AMAZED by the entries I've seen here...I knew you guys were awesome, talented, smart, creative and all that, but DAMN!...I truly mean it...You guys have seriously impressed me, for REAL...ALL of you.
So, since I'm the only one who didn't make this challenge in time, I accept my elimination humbly and graciously...Carry on, guys and good luck to all of you :)
I gotta make dinner now while Ash is napping...He doesn't nap for very long, but at least I had time to type this out.
