Yeah, me too. :-)<br /><br />I'm thinking I may re-write a "fully-fleshed" version of this, because initially I was aiming for horror, but somewhere between muse and keyboard it morphed into what you see.<br />I quite like the look of this but my original idea was for a much more horrific ending.Steve Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414279461366098783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947555836132631506.post-3656623830602270402013-09-22T04:03:13.205+01:002013-09-22T04:03:13.205+01:00An unexpected twist—or not-twist, as it were!
