Welp... So much for "not my standard fare."

I dunno what to say about this, other than: my brain basically forced my hand here. I wrote some of this a while ago, some of this semi-recently, and then finally finished it after a feverish few hours of typing (and mostly erasing.) I'm more glad to be done with it than it actually existing, and maybe if it wasn't 3 a.m. here I'd talk myself out of posting it... /shrug.

It shouldn't need much context to figure out what's going on here. Not that I ever provide much ANYWAY... but I'm not even tempted, for once. I mean... I've posted pieces I've been afraid of before, but it never really gets easier. It definitely ranks up there with "Let Me Freeze" at the top of the "hardest to hit the submit button" leaderboard. But, I guess if you're reading this, I managed it.

Anyway, enough ranting. Thanks for reading.
