Thanks, Squid. I hadn't thought of ripping off Milton yet ("Better to rule in cyberspace than serve on the board of trustees"), but I'm not above it. Actually, I am considering cleaning this up significantly. As I wrote to Bettie (see the heading "Heilige Scheiß"), I'm planning on expanding this for seven chapters on Earth, each chapter dealing with a particular sin and how the main character(s) succumb or transcend, and an epilogue in Heaven. This way, I will be ripping off Dante's nine cycles, Goethe's triumph of man's will, and the Book of J for its sheer tediousness. If I can pull it off well enough without being deliberately derivative, I would consider publishing it. Thank you very much for your encouragement!
~M.
