Finished

Some Dance to Rermember, as I'd hoped to, well before dark.  What a story!   What a perfectly logical and satisfying, yet totally surprising, denouement!  My dread fears that the hero would simply up and die of AIDS--after protracted torments, of course, and with universal darkness burying all; and that would be the bleak and sordid end of it--fortunately for my psychic well-being, did not happen.  Instead, I'm actually feeling, damn it all, uplifted, charmed, and not a little thrilled and touched.
