Yeah, that's exactly how I felt when I read your first page of what would become Porch Life, actually. These things look significantly more impressive when you aren't the one who wrote them.

I should really read some Vonnegut, with all these comparisons I'm receiving.

But yeah, my intention with the prologue is that it's the only part of the whole story that isn't from the internal perspective of one of these three characters (except maybe the epilogue). In regards to the last line, I simply had no idea how to wrap it up and took a hammer to the voice and tone. It feels very strange and could use a revision, though I do like it in that way.
