"But Fate is a hunter. It preys upon the unwary suddenly snatching them into the experience they only dreamed as a possibility." Or, keeping them from a posibility. (IMHO) "Clarity of image versus suggestion" Are you suggesting you would have gotten the meaning if I hadn't posted the "exiting members"? Is there a style to "vignettes"? If so, I had no idea. I just decided to call the little short things I think about as a slight peek into a life (or in this case, two lives).
