I probably should have known that the other Germanic languages have a similar verb structure for "to end." Why I should have known I will probably never know. For times like this, I guess!

I'm more of a music guy though (although I do take French), and in music the last measure of pieces with a Dal Segno is often marked with a "fine" to mark the end of the piece, thus I decided to put FINE at the end of this story. As I understand it, "fine" means "end" in Italian too. Same idea, different languages. Anyways, I appreciate the input! You had me worried for a moment there. :P I didn’t think of that, it’s an interesting thought.

As a card-carrying Canuck however, I am obliged to point out that you ended your story with "FINE." I believe you might have meant "FIN" which means "end" in French and is a derivative of the verb "finir" which means "to finish, or end." Where would the world be without nit-pickers, hey?

I tried to not give the whole thing away, but I guess the title was a little revealing. It was really my first try at writing any kind of story, so things may or may not have been a little raw. I dunno... what did you think? I actually got this idea originally from reading The Plague of Fantasies by Slavoj Zizek. In the first few pages, he references <em>Phantom of Liberty</em>, and I immediately knew I was onto something. So… did anyone get the point of the story?
