I was reading to see if you left anything out. Not that I could tell. I would have spent more time on certain stages though. They don't all last the same number of lines. That may tell more truth than anything else. Time is the missing thing here. Perhaps, a time out for death to take a hand along the way. Death, is like mankind. Sometimes, he just can't wait. GW62
