One of my tasks between moving AMC from being a work-only project to a home-only project at the end of last month and the start of NaNoWriMo in November was to pry off some of these nuzguls attached to me by the various challenges I encounter.

juno_magic once so aptly put it, a writer's laboratory, this piece is very experimental for me. I am interested in peoples' response to it, if they are willing to give it. As always, all comments and criticism are welcomed and appreciated.
Please note that this story is rated for adult audiences only, for reasons of sexuality and some upsetting thematic content. If you are underage or bothered by sad stories (and yes, this is a sad story), please save us all the headache and read no further.
To those who choose to proceed, enjoy :)
