I could spend at least an hour commenting so far on this mystically dense and tie-in filled culminating story. But, time's short, so I'll confine myself to thanks in particular for giving Sally a time to shine and keeping Beth and Cath in the narrative. I'm hoping to use the time instead to resolve some of my own plot lines consistent with your story.

There are some stories that can really only be ventured in a long-developed continuity - the "Abbey Road" equivalents when the cast and readers have been there and done that - so its interesting to be able to dip into that "end-times" vibe and make stories with it.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.
