I enjoyed it a lot. I agree with jstro, good solid story telling. I am intrigued by the obsession with symmetry you hint at here. Although what I found a bit disconcerting was the similar speech patterns of the two characters. They talk alike too much to be strangers meeting for the first time. That's just my niggle. :o) Going off to enjoy the rest of it... Cheers! - M
