I don't know why.. I found the post to be enjoyable but I like your longer posts for their emotional tone and suspense. This post said to me: cliffhanger. While enjoyable it only left me wanting more like when a movie ends on a cliffhanger and you start swearing the director to hell for not having the next movie ready. 

All in all it was a pretty good post; not your lengthiest post but CERTAINLY not by any standard bad at all.
