Richard this is very good writing, captivating as hell....your prose keeps the readers' attention, I couldn't figure out where you were going with it, and that is a good thing, (I would've stopped reading instantly)  it's unusual to be sure, but somewhere along the way I connected to this one, you managed to suspend my disbelief....terrific descriptive work....well done
