That's an interesting question. It's one of those stories where the first paragraph came to me (pretty much as is), it interested and amused me, and I just kept going until I was done, pretty much in a single sitting in terms of a draft. I suppose some part of my subconscious became invested in figuring out what was going on with this guy who was based on some biographical facts of a famous person, but each step of the way in the story, became something more rooted in what's going on in my head. That experience through writing as always interested me.
John, I love it, unaccountably. I'm trying to do something like this, so I'm fascinated to see how you do it. But aside from that, I think it's very effective.
This is a really good story and I enjoyed reading it. I wondered though, why it was important to you to write it?

“That’s an interesting question.” I’m glowing with pride!
Amazing.
