Thank you so much for your kind words! It means quite a bit coming from an author like yourself :) I'm glad that you enjoyed most of it. Regarding the complaints on the ending, I think I can understand why some don't seem to like it. While writing, I got to a point where I kind of had the ending in mind, so I didn't notice the shift in tone when it came.

I can appreciate why people might not like the ending, though especially those who may be of the female persuasion. It is a touchy subject, not to be thrown about. And I'm not sure if I'm a skilled enough writer yet to tackle it. That being said, I'm going to stand behind this ending (other than admitting there may be a few too many elipses;)  As I feel it does explain some of the reasoning for the glitches (whether they be real or imagined) and kind of tie things together.

Even if people don't like, or appreciate it, I mostly hope people don't think I just tacked the ending on for shock value. (I know some people will think that) Truth be told, without getting into any unnecessary details, I'll say that for me, the underlying theme of the story, specifically the ending was a form of catharsis.
