I love this sentence, it sums up everything that happened nicely. How you correlated the the preparation of meat, and the neurological reaction of anger to the anthology theme was really great and unusual. The little view into a better future for Marc was the icing on the cake. Irri is right, this is one of your best stories.
Thanks Addy!!! I wanted to use that chemical reaction as a metaphor and with your help, it worked. Besides, it combined two of my great loves, cooking and writing!!! I appreciate the kind words.
