You have invoked very clear imagery with your words and composed your words very artfully. A pleasure to read. There is poetry in your short story.
"..looking like he just rolled out of bed and fell into a deep volcano of smoldering beauty."
Icarus, collapses in the ruin of his downfall.
Thank you so much!
