| Posted by Therese Boling on 02/08/10 at 10:36 AM Love this...it reminded me of some scenes from Simon R. Green's Nightside books...where so many gods became legends, then rumours, then clichés...you summed up that little progression in a damn near perfect gathering of 21 words. |

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 02/09/10 at 05:07 PM Yeah, somehow the person who has to talk about it probably isn't the real-deal hero/legend, but I like the book-ends on this, the color, and pondering the fate of us humans. Thanks for this. |
