You double-posted, though this post has an added line.
I’d suggest deleting the other one.
(Remember, when you want to edit a ficlet you just posted, click the “edit” link at the upper right. Don’t click “back” to edit it, or it will post a duplicate.)
Oh, and: an interesting, introspective ficlet. Nicely done.
