I'll be re-reading this one for it's particular atmosphere of somehow wistful beauty, its touch of hope. That last sentence alone seems to point the way to something important for all of us out here trying to write in a hurricane.
Thanks a million, Mark; few people whose good opinion I'd rather have than yours...The metaphorist (!) in me can't resist a good river, so, write long enough, Niagara Falls was bound to make an appearance in my work. And, if a guy can't occasionally swing for the fences with a sentence, what's the point of writing in the first place?

Enjoying this, Walter! I like the cliffhanger aspect (or waterfall cliffhanger aspect!)
Promise it will get cliff-ier!
