The preceding paragraph is written in present tense, so I employed it there in order to "snap" the narrator out of his sort of delusional funk. <br /> <br /> But if it feels disjointed, than that's something I'd like to know. All of these are of course one-draft quickie vignettes, and I plan on going back to re-edit all of them when the year is through. (Only eight more months!)

Allow me my creative liberty. I almost wrote the entire ending in present tense just to fuck with things a little more. Oh I like the tense mix-up, Roger. Allow me my creative liberty.

Oh the market for sappy 600-word vignettes disguised as short fiction isn’t as great as one might think!

But that’s always the long-term goal.

My goal with this piece was just to write something without dialogue, as I think my journalistic background has swayed me too far towards quotations and thus dialogue-heavy stories.

In any case, thanks as always for the kind words and your readership.
