“He wanted to express his gratitude to the dead thing. But how does one say a prayer over the corpse of a god?”

“The ending of my story should be spoiled for you in one respect; since I’m narrating in the first person, it will be fairly obvious that I don't die at the end. However, consider me a survivor of a race car crash, who lost a few psychic limbs in the inferno.”
