Jon, you’ve probably received a different version, I’ve done much editing.

32, this is brutal, and brilliant – and exactly achieves the tone that I was intending for my piece, but rather more successfully, I think. Great sequel.

@Jon: Thank you. The challenge for me was to respect the previous writers’ details and pull them into this culmination. It was a fun write. I thoroughly enjoyed the two perspectives.

Darkly tragic and effectively told in a sparse sort of voice, a minimalist telling for a protagonist reduced to minimalist thinking.
