This tale triggered a flurry of flashes – Queen's Gambit and Ratatouille and Cyrano de Bergerac and War of the Worlds and Eyes Wide Shut and...

Your intertwining is shameless, intelligent and wonderfully clever. I'm going to take a stab at the red hair thing turning full Midwich Cuckoos. No, don't tell me.

Some of those references weren't even intentional. But there were plenty of others - Trainspotting, the social network, working moms... I love me a pop culture reference and I'm glad ppl can read what they want into it! Thanks for reading.
