The prose seemed to skim along almost leisurely and non-threatening, but once you maneuver to your key points, they hit with the force of a pissed-off stonecutter with bricks in his gloves. This is a very good thing to me.
This part hit me the hardest:
"Now is all there is, and now is fine, I have more to offer you than anyone who is here now, and I ask for nothing
beyond the
equity of the moment."
But then again, you are a historically skilled writer, so I should expect jaw-droppers like these.
