first off, I enjoyed this story a lot... That ending-- yikes!
But, like with "The Dune", I have a question I'm hoping someone can help clear up...

The narrator mentions, when telling his life story, that he stayed on campus at his college in the summer of 2000, but was born in 1969... Thus putting him at 31 years old. I think it was mentioned that he stayed on campus his junior year, so I think 1990 would have made more sense. As well, the narrator mentions when he sees the bad little kid again in 2000 that it had been "over ten years" since he'd seen him last, but the last time he'd seen the kid was when he (the narrator) was in fourth grade... So 1979/1980? Am I missing something or what?
