So this chapter is definitely different. I hope it doesn't give anyone metaphorical whiplash. (I'm rather fond of it, despite its being so unusual.)


Previous chapters, general information/warnings/ratings/etc. found here, on the master index.

Slightly spoiler-ish post-chapter thoughts. )

I can only guess that this chapter has brought up more questions than it has answered. To which I say: all will be revealed! (No, but really. I enjoyed the obfuscation.) I don't know if I'm pushing too hard to make there be multiple layers/possibilities, but it seems to be one of those things that I can't stop doing because it makes me think. I try not to leave too many loose ends, because I know I'll have to tie them up in some fashion at some point in time. Was it Hemmingway who said something to the effect of "if there's a gun [in a story] the reader knows that the gun's going to get used." In other words, I try not to make throwaway elements in a story, because I personally find it dissatisfying when there are all sorts of bits and pieces that I'm left wondering about at the end. (It feels oh, I don't know...discourteous.)

Anyway, I'm off to bed, now that this is up!
