I, for one, will not play "mind-games" with the people who are good enough to read my work. Why be so pretentious; why try consistently and consciously to create great, subtle "art?" Great art is accidental. Any writer is lucky when it occurs. Entertain and inform and scare them into a few moments of real, reflective thought, and you've done more than most of the writers in any field have achieved. J. N. Williamson
