Hmm, I actually thought it was good.
No, good is an understatement, but I cannot describe. My mom is making me go to bed now (oh yes, that sounds dumb, doesn't it). Well, I guess I cannot really describe it now, how marvelous it was and a that shabang.

There's probably no point in me giving any sort of full-blown review for this, since our writing skills are clearly incomparable. But nevertheless, I just thought you should know how much I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Insanely clever. The depiction of Alfred's wife as a beached whale was simply perfect - an aptly grotesque and warted creature, yet with a gentle quality that shone through at the end as Alfred's true love was revealed.
And the Elliot reference [as someone mentioned above] was a nice touch. Middle-aged frustrations. :]
Eck. If I'm completely off in my interpretations, I apologise.
Oh, and can I ask why you chose not to use quotation marks for dialogue? Not that it detracted from the piece in any way, I'm just genuinely curious. :]
