Thank you! Glad it wasn't too repeaty. If I had worked as hard as I meant to it probably would've been repeaty, because there were a lot more elements I thought could've been echoed, so I'm glad in the end I posted it when I did. I have such a habit of over-working things...when is what made it also dense and difficult to get through. I do think that's a fault, because I myself find dense writing tedious, and it's something I'm trying to overcome in short pieces like this where I want to do something really out there and metaphoric with the writing.

Anyway, excuse my rambling about myself--I'm really really glad you appreciated it. Thanks for reading.
