This has to be the best one shot I've ever read.

Let me say without any exaggeration that this is your best work so far. The meaningful detail in this great, and it brings actual emotion through. And what a roller coaster of emotion that is! You both hate Gabe and sympathize with him, and then once you're at the end you're stuck in this place where you don't know which of those feelings is stronger. I love that, and I love this. -
