This was a deeply interesting story! I really enjoyed putting the dots together. I'm intrigued by the moral epiphany towards the end. Very cool!

Taking the "up against a cliff" idea and making into a moral precipice was a master stroke. Well done!

Wow, Scott! You have demonstrated a brand new expertise here with this story. The first three paragraphs are the most lyrical I have ever seen from you. Such a departure in subject and style -- and such an un-expected ending. I did not predict it. Congratulations!
