Hi TqB,
Glad you liked the ending.  That line is a homage to a poem by Emily Dickinson called "A Clock Stopped"  where she refers to the clock's pendulum as a puppet on a string.  Read the poem and let me know if you think my reference crosses a line.

No I don't think you crossed any lines.  A very odd poem (Dickinson's I mean).  I've never read her deeply and I should.
