Sue, I pretty much want to echo everything DJ just said. She said just about everything I've been thinking since I read this the other day. And I too love AngryClark.
But this is my absolute favorite line:

I don't know what it is about that line, but it's beautiful. I love when you throw these short stories at us. They are always fantastic!
