Bravo! Gobsmacked I did not see the twist coming. The image up top works great as a mislead while still honestly reflecting part of the story. You know it's a good twist when you have to rewind and unscrew your entire image of the narrator and your whole brain gets twisted inside out. Can't remember the last short story I read that managed that. What a feeling. Either I'm an easy foil, or the misdirection was A+. Well done all around! Hope Chuck gloves this.

Sleek bars:

+ 50 is The Empire Strikes Back. 49 is The Phantom Menace.

+ Groundbreaking stuff. Wait until you see it.

+ We were really cutting into that cushion I thought we didn’t need.

Read like a typo at first, fwiw:
