Well, here it is...the finale. As I mentioned before, I let this story write itself, and while the ending was a surprise, even to me, I hope you enjoyed it. To be fair, the final scene was in my head from the beginning, so if there is any part I'm most proud of, it is how the story comes to its very conclusion. I hope you can see it in your head, too, and feel the irony of it all (feel free to grin or chuckle at your computer screen). This has been a fun return to writing, and I hope there will be more to come. Thanks for reading!
