This is nicely sculpted. Just tight enough to draw forth images in the mind’s eye that fade into the next as the words flow on. – Very smooth – and the ending is a delicious twist!
The only line that loses me is “Trafalgaring mating fire-beetles”. I don’t know the reference so I miss the image. :(
A very good read!
(I don't do thermometers.)
It's a great balance of subtle and ironic and, yes, the ending is a great tongue-in-cheek twist. Thanks for the read. :)
