I clicked on the HN link and, when I saw "short story", almost closed the tab ... but I started to read anyway. I found it compelling and disturbing from start to finish. Much as my opinions about writing count for nothing, I truly hope that you poat any future works here. A great read.

Thank you so much. I do indeed plan on posting more work here in future... HN has given me the impetus I needed for that (and more) now!
