Though I guess the ending just doesn't say what happened to the "you." <br /><br />My favorite part is the echoing of the taunts. Those are warnings as well, and they resonate. Try to get our attention, like all warnings, especially when they are ignored.<br /><br />Good work.Vince Goterahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10873850315003080382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891118331658959226.post-53537521741796418872012-05-19T03:02:43.458-05:002012-05-19T03:02:43.458-05:00A cautionary tale that in the end is not a caution...A cautionary tale that in the end is not a cautionary tale.
