This is an elegant, mysterious story. I could see you there amid the semicolons, but in the end it felt like fiction of a high order. We don't ever really know who Prof. Browne is, what his motives might be, why he dies. Really wonderful story.

Thank you. You nailed it. We thought we knew him but he remained an enigma. This is 40 years ago and I remember him vividly. Thanks for reading.

We need the semicolon instruction 😜 A great teacher leaves such an impression in our hearts and minds. I was fortunate with three. Two in middle school and one in high school. Ever thankful for each.

To all the semicolon haters out there, let me introduce you to the dash - it's modern, exciting, and visually pleasing.
