Oh my you are Evil Greg... EVIL. How dare you make a girl cry and blubber over a story.. I was distracted by the image of your spontaneous dancing and curious about the promise of evil in your anthology.. I guess you can blame both of those on me.. BUT for the record you are still E-v-i-l. Meanie.
Joking aside....
I LOVED IT!
The beginning sets up a sad ending, but I thought as I went through - well it could have been someone else other than Paul. Especially after Will recovered from a successful surgery and my Anatomy and medical classes helped me tremendously while reading, but you explained his condition with Pancreatic cancer well. Then as you wrote, "Bang!" "Bang!" my eyes narrowed and I was thinking damn it's Paul.
Their relationship was beautiful and strong and I knew from the beginning that if one died the other would too, so I was "double hoping" for a happy ending as I am a die hard romantic-happy-ending kind of girl. The death of both characters were beautiful in their own very different way. Even if I had some small feeling of anger that Will took suicide as a way out of things, their relationship made the act at least forgivable. A tragedy about complete devotion.
