That makes lots of sense. We can certainly focus on stretching your "third person" writing skills.

I would like to make this third person, and I could set him up to tell the story (he is mad) and it would be much easier not to cheat you all with a vague notion of where he is telling the story from and make it more believable...however I did like the surreal aspect of it...I will have to think on this, perhaps I can do both.
Go for it! Take this piece where you'd like or be done with it and tackle something new.
