thank you so much for the fb (especially finding time to slot it between all that pesky rl business). i'm thrilled you enjoyed it, and that it caught you off-guard, especially. that's definitely part of what i hoped would be fun for the reader. :D

i'm really glad the ending worked for you too (though honestly it felt like a reflection of my own feelings about the piece by that point - OH GOD JUST BE OVER ALREADY) so yes. :D again, thank you so much!
