off balance; a sneak preview.

I've still got problems being on a computer long enough to be able to type the whole thing up, but because you are such wonderfully patient people, here is a tiny section of not-quite-polished-but-probably-nearly-what-will-make-it-in-to-the-final-draft off balance part three.

Ooh, a preview! And it is excellent. And going in a fascinating direction. I love Charles's emotions here. (Just wonderful: "He expects, perhaps, that the words will hurt, that they will be confusing and terrifying and nauseating. He doesn’t expect them to make him want to cry.")

Again, I am so glad you enjoyed (is 'enjoyed' an appropriate word?) my little tribute to this 'verse! And thank you for the fantastic compliments! :D But I truly cannot take much credit for it, as inspiration came from you.
