I actually liked the sentence and I think it would work. I've read many a published novel (modern, no less) with similar sentence structurs. However, the sentencw would work depending, though, what book it was located in.

I feel for you kit. IN my rant I meant to say the present war was Uncalled for, but I typed unclad. Which sorts of fits but wasn't the mood I was going for.
Don;t worry about, that's what editing is for
