Wow, wow and wowza.
This is the best story I have read in a very long time. It is beautifully written and so emotional.Even though I thought I had it sussed, now I'm not so sure. And that is the beauty of it.
Have a more than deserved rating point.

I wish we could rate reviews on here. I'm trying to keep this thing a bit of a mystery. I hope everyone will be ok with the way this is going to turn out. It won't be a happy ending per se but it should be satisfying for everyone.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read, review and rate. This is what keeps all of us writing. This and serious mental problems of various kinds. ;)
