Thank you so much for the kind words.

The looped picture is called a "GIF", and it could be made through any number of free video editing apps. I appreciate you reading so deeply into my story, and I'm glad a sharp reader such as yourself are able to see the many literary allusions I made in the story.

I have two more pieces coming out in the next three days on the topic of "Death" and "Re-entry," and if you liked what you read here, you'll like what you read there, also.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting once again, I very much appreciate keen readers such as yourself. Cheers.
