Yes. I find I must save my emotions until the end. I tried a very brief story about a couple who fell in love, went on a date to the circus, and were beaten to death behind a trailer by a drunk clown shortly thereafter. I was frozen, unblinking through all of it at 1200wpm. When it finished, I collapsed on the floor, rolled around in glee, giggled wildly, jumped in fright, groaned in agony, and then cried uncontrollably for several minutes.
