@buru5 Just got done reading the piece, took about an hour and 20 minutes.

I enjoyed this foray into fictional story-telling, the reliance on footnotes and eclectic use of pop-culture, gaming, random trivia throughout reminded me of a novel I read last year called House of Leaves. Not sure if you're familiar.

The footnotes are a nice way to incorporate some of the dry, mundane explanation/analysis writing that I know you detest using in your prose. I didn't think it interrupted the flow much

@buru5 Either way, this was an engrossing read, and a reminder of how much work I have cut out to improve as a writer. Keep up the great work, man, would love to see more like this!

Also, I think I found a picture of that William guy
