Add me to the list of those thanking you for the story. It reminds me in many ways of one I read back in the glory days of Astounding (long before it became Analog) by, if memory serves me, Henry Kuttner.
Had you been a generation or so earlier, you might have found a spot in the pantheon of SF greats along with Weinbaum, Asimov, and Heinlein. I think it's that good. Now I have to start looking at some of your other works!
Thanks again!
