Well, I've spent the last couple hours (on and off) trying to come up with some kind of comments that do justice to this, and, well, I've finally come to the conclusion that it's beyond me.
Wonderful ending to an absa-smegging-lutely brilliant story.
Don't thank me for my comments. Thank you for the story!!
Oh, and ditto Sara about where it all came from. The most jawdroppingly good story I can remember reading, and it came from idle curiousity about a continuity glitch. Amazing!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about religion in the comments to the last part. Don't think I have anything to add at the moment, but I appreciated reading them.
Anyway, I need to get going now (and I can't seem to find a proper smiley for this), but I just wanted to say it one more time.
THANK YOU, CC!!!
Paul
