Feeling It Out

Kind of a meta thing about storytelling, I guess? A bit of a structural puzzle. Each line is one word longer than the previous until it backs off to 5 again and stays there, but I don't know if that's deliberate. At first, it seemed to be thematic with the first couple of lines.

Gotta type this comment slowly to really savor the image.
