I'm left pondering, though, where is God in all of this? Don't know if that was your intent or not, but this brief tale could spark some seriously intense theological discussion.<br /><br />The sentence structure struck me as fragmentary, which was a bit jarring at first but gave it a distinct rhythmic style once I got into it. I really enjoyed it, and if you ever put together another #FF collection, this one should definitely be in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179795275664264195.post-372834295635758022012-07-27T14:01:10.880+01:002012-07-27T14:01:10.880+01:00Oh, those poor angels!

Is there anything humans won't try to conquer? I love the anxious dread of these poor creatures.<br /><br />Funny enough, I got a visual from the film version of What Dreams May Come - linked back to the Seventh Seal (both with sardonic image of Max Von Sydow) and now to this. Illumination on the edge of ruin. It's rich, fantastical - would be something to see, represented in a graphic novel.Dijeratichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12986680442575436037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179795275664264195.post-77654103663930111822012-07-27T09:08:23.516+01:002012-07-27T09:08:23.516+01:00I love your explanation of Hell - it makes Lucifer...I love your explanation of Hell - it makes Lucifer look less like a demon and more like someone just trying to do a job.<br /><br />Bravo!Icy Sedgwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501193571425442406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179795275664264195.post-68269424366730853662012-07-27T08:39:29.951+01:002012-07-27T08:39:29.951+01:00Absolutely beautiful.
