Love it. Perfect choices, and I definitely got the Escher feel before the reveal, so that was nicely done. Hilarious rendition of Dali. Such, such fun.
Thanks for the editing tip. And as far as my intention, I figured it could sit in the stream of the story. I didn’t really think about that when putting a title. So, you guys can write around from this point or sequel directly back into the action with Abe.
I’m definitely treating it as canon, although I kept the numbering going from here. That means Marie will be coming back some time in my ficlies, unless someone else brings her back first!
