I quite like this. Ironically, I'm ambivalent about how necessary the Chekhov reference in the opening is. If you're going to hang up a Chekhov in the opening paragraph, after all, a character had better fire him at somebody by the fourth paragraph. :)

In all seriousness, it's really tricky to write a narrative that refers back to itself the way yours does/tries to do a few times. I wonder if, in this case, it blunts the effect of what is otherwise a quite sharp and effective story?

Overall, loved it. Thanks.
