I’ve been wondering how this works in the ficlet format. On one hand, nothing significant appears to occur in this ficlet. On the other hand, you can’t string together an epic series from a neverending stream of character plot twists. I have no solution, but eagerly anticipate a sequel.

I thought it worked nicely. It’s not a critical story moment or exciting interaction, but it has a great visual and some character development as well. This is what is awesome about the ficly format, as it forces you to make every moment, regardless of overall plot significance, something artistic and worth reading in its own right. I say nicely done.
