Oh, wow. I could completely visualize this happening as I read it, which is unusual for me (I tend to process words as words rather than images). And the images flowed and connected remarkably well-- everything filtered beautifully through Dick's perceptions, but it struck (at least for me) exactly the right balance between the stream-of-consciousness narration that puts your reader into the action and the more distant perspective that allows readers to look intellectually as well as emotionally, which really helps to make Dick's oh-so-carefully-controlled reactions seem like the necessary conclusions, the actions anyone would take in his place.
And as if that weren't enough, you then used such a distinctive style-- I have to fourth or fifth the praise for your use of brackets. Overall, this was a completely wonderful, believable piece. Thank you for posting it!
