... amazing, absolutely amazing.
This is a very well written story, with a plotline that, well, the only way I can describe it is that it's like a car wreck. A really nasty car wreck like in the movies, where you might see a car flip end over end, or a body fly out: You know it's probably not going to end well, but can't stop watching it.
...and I just now realized that I tend to babble when writing stream-of-thought. So I should just stop typing before I clog up the site with much more of my babble...
