Todd, This was a very interesting piece to read. Multiple planes of reference are explored, which suggests some indecision by the narrator to choose which path is the one to follow. (By the way, all of them fit in well except the mafia reference...why?) A write like this one, in which many options are outlined, allows a reader to pick and choose the interpretation that best suits their whims. Very nice. take care...dan
It feels an air of depression about it, perhaps even resignation to despair. In that way it could be one of Byron's works; all about the glory of gloom. But cheer up a bit...life's too short to mourn our own state or the state of others..there's work to be done and the living must get on with it since the dead aren't going to be of any help at all. As one whose known depression (bipolar that I am) I've fought my own demons in the light and drug them there when they did not want to go. They always seemed quite smaller and weaker than they pretended in the shadows. Enjoyed the read. Keep pouring on the ink in lines. Bless.
