Makes me smile and I don't even know why. : ) First time through, I missed that it was "hugs" rather than "bugs." Imagined reality can be a cutting thing.

Brilliant, Connie. I love how it becomes more abstract towards the conclusion by using less abstract imagery. Very cool effect - I read it three times and came away with something different after each.
