Fifteen years ago, I took part in lighting up Hadrians's Wall, which I documented here:

VOCAL (I Love It When You Call)
Introduction This is for D.K. Shepard's Unofficial Vocal Acrostic Challenge that you can read about here: It's about my current situation with Vocal, and though it is an Acrostic, it has a constant number of syllables, eight per line and an ABABA rhyme, just to make it a little more difficult.
