Had to hunt all over my old files to find it, but maybe I can finish it and do something with it. (Sorry, you won't see it here, it's already way over 1000 words.) If I can finish it, it will definitely be unique among my writing ... I think if you read every other story I've written, you would never get a clue that any such thing as :smiking" ever existed.

I found I was making myself finish it rather than being taken along by it. The writing strikes me as trying to hard. I found I was making myself finish it rather than being taken along by it.

This one wasn't for me. Haven't read Kafka since college and for good reason: I didn't care for him much then. So if this is an homage or replication of that style, that's probably why it rings a bit dissonant in my ears. --John Happily, I took time to peruse the others comments before adding my own, otherwise I would have said things unbearably foolish.
