Umm, thanks guys!
The story ended up a fair bit different from the original concept in my mind, but after reworking it a few times to make sure it was following the quote, "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference," well, I think it speaks to me more (since I often find it so easy to stand by and watch rather than doing something), so sorta prefer it now to what I started with. And though I didn't write it to make a certain point, I sure found myself pondering the whole theme quite a bit while and after writing it...
I guess that's why some of these quotes are so memorable, huh?
