Far too many stories simply spell things out. This one is clever in that it ends at a fork in the narrative. Thanks.

I recall one of the points others brought up was the ending; how some didn't care to be left hanging. I agree with Ms. Hale who notes it is "sharply perfect." Many short stories can perpetuate and become longer works, but just because you can do a thing doesn't necessarily mean you should. Thank you for your story. --John I had the pleasure of seeing this in its “gestation” period and I like what you decided to do with it.
