This one has such a dark tone in contrast to the nursery rhyme metaphor. (Funny how we think of being smashed into pieces as such a cheery little thing to read to children!)
I very much like how Wilson traces the steps of how he got to this point. He's a methodical person, and that's very much in character for him. And this catches him at a point when he's still trying to decide whether he can pick himself up and go on, so the metaphor works wonderfully well.
Thank you so much! :-) Yeah, I know what you mean. Nursery rhymes and fairy tales both - not quite the benign little pieces they seem at first glance. Does make you wonder about the innate humanity of humanity, does it not? :-D
Glad to read that this works. I had a bit of a fight with my Muse over this one - the two of us were pulling in different directions, each one wanting her own way. Thanks again for the help in simplifying the vision, as it were. :-)
