That was, in a dark and sick and twisted way, almost funny. I'm not exactly sure how, but there was some sort of sadistic and messed-up irony and humor to Gerard making a big day out of the grocery store. And the ending bit, when Frankie was talking to himself- that was genius...foreshadowing, almost, is what I suppose it could be called.
This story only gets better. [And you know I mean it by how diligent and dogged- or you could say obsessed- I am about reviewing.] It truly is amazing.
