a real pleasure. You are a true artist. Auntie Owl's dialogue is straight from A Dickens' novel with a little clockwork Orange in there for ultra violent measure. I think we've ended it but a sampling of the cursing invective that Auntie Owl lets loose upon me once she sees there'll be no prison break forthcoming would probably be much better than my simple allusion to the conniption.

Although I’m happy to concoct further words if you wish, I think the piece ends more deliciously as you’ve left it—there being more power in the oblique reference to extremity than its direct presentation (I’m thinking of Faulkner’s "His father spoke for the first time, his voice cold and harsh, level, without emphasis: 'I aim to. I don’t figure to stay in a country among people who…' he said something unprintable and vile, addressed to no one.”)
Thank you for the collaboration—and, of course, greater thanks are due for the publication.
I hope to work again together soon,

All right. I'm not going to argue with Faulkner. I had a good time and will get it on the site as soon as I can. I look forward to doing business with you in the future.
