So, I kinda feel like this might be one of the best things I've ever read. The impact of it was incredible, just wow. And I'd like to be able to leave some kind of articulate comment, but it's not going to happen tonight! I loved this, and it's staying with me. I read it a while ago and didn't comment at the time, and have only remembered some missed comments tonight - but it's stayed with me all that time as a story that's got claws in my brain. So good.
