Hmmm. I kinda like the way the ending comes out and smacks you in the face. It seems unrelated, like it's coming out of nowhere, and yet, life is like that. You can be here one moment, and the next you're gone. Boom. Just like that.

Spooky, eerie. There's like a building tension heading toward the end.

Now - I could be totally out to sea (I need sleep! ), but I got the impression that the girl tending the cross and putting the red poppies down was the ghost of the person the cross represented. I read like that sometimes; I go with my first, visceral reaction, and that's what I sensed. I liked it. Not as fully realized as your "Tinseltown" series, Kara (of course, I feel "Tinseltown" is your masterwork), but still damned fine.
