This is wonderful, and not a little scary. I especially loved your Past Imperfect, Present Tense and Future Continuous! I would have been laughing at the clever conceit if you hadn't just scared me so badly.
I especially love your take on Bodie welcloming vulnerability in your conclusion:
"But Bodie is no longer invulnerable, if in fact he ever was. He knows that now, knows his life has changed. Everything is different, the possibilities endless.

A future continuous.

Bodie wouldn't have it any other way."

We wouldn't have it any other way either. Thank you!
