Thanks so much, @prydefoltz! I appreciate that you took the time to stop by to read and comment! I do enjoy writing these little micro fiction pieces!

p.s. I'm commenting but only upvoting in a limited fashion at the moment because of a user error that caused my SP to drop below the required level to control my upvote percentage. As a result, all of my upvotes are at 100% (including upvotes on all comments) until I can fix it.
