I was reminded of O. Henry's The Last Leaf, perhaps because of the ache to complete the masterpiece before death.

The theology in here is verrrry interesting. What is the place of dreams, and our service to family and to others? What is the role of talent, and how do we steward that? Will we have tasks in the hereafter, and what might those be?

My two stars are for illustrations and the use of the name Lemonjello which I choose to pronounce as if it rhymes with Angelo. Otherwise, the story was not very interesting.
