In reply to Jonathan Blais. Thank you, Jonathan. I really like to get into the mind and how it tricks us.

I love how you referred to the idea of angels a second time, but meaning something different, “and the angels were the young French girls of the night.” Somehow nostalgic and real.

Stories/ concepts like this always pull at my heart strings. Great!

“It was in the great war over in Europe, where gardens spilled into the fields from stone houses and the angels were the young French girls of the night.” touche.

Thanks. I liked the idea of the two moments in time coming together like a loop, or repeating without distinction.

I like this weave, especially this: “He wondered what life he was leaving; forgetting he’d lived it for years.”

In reply to Steve Veilleux. Thanks, Steve! A bit hokey, but that's where my head was at this weekend.

Poignant! – if I wasn’t thinking about mortality when I woke up this morning, I certainly am now. The meshing of memory and present state is quite well done!
