LOL! I won't pretend to know if all that was your intent, nor if I read all the things into the tale that you intended. We read stories for ourselves, and maybe see ourselves in them, rather than necessarily what the writer intended. But as a writer I find I love it when someone understands what I was trying to say; and when they uncover elements I never even realised as I wrote it.

I'll stop now, before I sound even more pretentious! ;-)
