Excellent. I can’t wait for the sequel.

Oh, you mean I have to sequel this? Hmm, someone may have to help me on this one, as a ficlet anyway.

No sequel from me. How about a prequel?

I really like the sense of mystery here. I got a Garden of Eden kind of feeling And I like your use of the word “innocuous”, especially since there is that unsettling eerie-ness going on. We need to use that word more! Great work :)
