Yes, I did let my enjoyment of letting my imagination go wild dictate what I wrote.

I actually felt , after posting my comment, that I had crossed the line. I would hate it if someone did it to me - so my sincere apologies.

I usually use the standard, that if I feel I am being 'clever' it means I am not and I resist the urge. This time it seems I ignored the signals until it was too late. My only excuse is that I had just come out of a root canal without a narcotic injection and was not listening to my own inner voice.

Now I am looking forward to seeing how you handled the story.

btw - as to your aspirations, it is very much how I see myself. I only want to be predictable in how I respond to ethical/moral situations. If I remain true to myself, then I cannot avoid becoming predictable to those who know me well.
