uneeq – I realized afterwards that I mistyped one of the names in the last paragraph – BOB grabs a knife from OTTO’s drawer, not from BOB’s, as he is in OTTO’s kitchen. I’m not sure if that threw anyone off.
Also bear in mind that it’s not necessarily supposed to be a satisfying ending that makes the whole story click, just a confirmation that it in fact is some form of mirror. I was kind of thinking that our friend BOB is stuck in some sort of nether-region where many of his actions are mirrored – obviously not all of them are, as BOB wasn’t cooking his own cheesecake, and they were BOTH somehow in OTTO’s kitchen. I guess I kinda wanted to leave some interpretation up to the reader.
