Interestingly, the version with spaces was half a megabyte smaller than the version without. How strange.
I wasted far too long removing the punctuation and capitalization and trying to get that to post into PA. I would like to make a thread in which I post every word of that story actually word wrapped so you have to scroll, in alphabetical order. But I can't find anything to sort all the words in a document alphabetically (because it's pointless and stupid), so I would have to write it myself in C++, which would waste even more time.

You could do it in an hour.
EDIT: Actually, it'd probably take only like 5 minutes in Objective C. And be less than 10 lines. Now I am tempted to try.

1) I'm not very good at C++ 2) It probably would only take an hour or two, but that is another hour or two wasted.

I'm surprised you actually did it.
Henry, I am bored and don't know why I'm not in bed but don't even feel sleepy.
(It probably would have been easier in C# but I don't have that installed right now and haven't used it in a couple of years so it probably would have taken me longer anyways XD)
Anyways your silly story is in chapters, not one giant text block, and I don't feel like getting it all. So I'll PM you the first chapter just for fun.
