"Sadness and misery were her whetstones..." Damn, you guys! That is some dark poetry right there.

A beautiful memorial for Athena. I remember how you would grouse about her when she was still in that apartment. I love the way you have not softened the bitterness, even as you add the sweetness. That's not just good writing; that's good living. Thank you for that.

Absolutely charming. I've reread the Stranger recently. You've brought that back to mind.
