Chuck, just to put you out of your misery there's nothing all that interesting in my ID I'm afraid! The DMFW is just my initials, which are usually a unique ID when I sign on to a web site. If I used my first name I'd be David500042 or some such :-) Glad you liked the story. 500 words makes you strip every sentence down to the bone. On reflection, I think even the little amount of plot in there was too much for the story to carry without making the reader work pretty hard. If I did another one of these I think I'd concentrate more on atmosphere and have even less narrative.
