Bravo! I did not see that coming. What better compliment can I give an author, except to say that your writing is clear and effective. You manage not only to continue the plot, but to weave elements of the 'beginning' in your conclusion.

This is true horror. Not the gross horror of disembowelment, but terror of having your being appropriated. The loss of self, but not loss of awareness. True torture.

I am impressed, but not surprised by your craft.
