Wow, thank you so much! That's just amazing feedback. *bounces*
I'm glad I was able to include a somewhat hopeful ending, too--I struggled with it, the fraction of my soul that's pure, unadulterated evil (7/16ths? Maybe?) convinced that I needed to end on a note of DOOM. Thankfully, I got Milton in there to arbitrate a little. Otherwise it would've been too mean. ;-)
