If it makes you feel any better, I do plan on re-writing it soon, once I get my sleep schedule back on track and can come back to it with a clear mind.

The intent will be to make it more cohesive, especially near the end, which admittedly feels a little rushed. Part of the problem was that my planned direction for the story changed part-way through, so certain things were introduced which then never materialized.

Hopefully this will mean I can find a way to add in some details and history where needed, lengthening the story somewhat, and making the climax natural enough that you don't feel like it needs to continue. :)

You've helped nudge me in this decision for it, so while I can't promise a sequel or anything yet, something like that will be easier after the re-write, once I abandon the cheesy, sci-fi themes I had originally planned. Gil himself will change a little, since his character honestly doesn't belong in this story unless I take it to a point which I believe would ruin the story as it stands.

Sorry for the rambling. I didn't know where else I could say this. :p
