I'm reeling with the anger and a mother's defence instincts. Sometimes I feel things physically - and this is like metal on metal, scraping, raw... Very well done.<br /><br />As for titles, sometimes I write <em>because</em> I've come up with a title but no story. When I have a story and no title, I leave it untitled and walk away.
