another classic morality tale,

where's the perversion girl?

lol

only kidding, great story, and I am sure it could be fleshed out into a book, because there would be plenty of chances squandered (chances for redemption for the unrepentant character, I mean)
Moments on the way down we we could see an out and she couldn't, as it were.

and the awakening into higher levels of consciousness too.
bit by bit? or all at once?

Could even be a movie with Julia Roberts. and Tilda Swinton!
