Nature can have its blessings at times. English Mum; In the words of Axl Rose, 'better weird than dead'. Can't get much weirder than him! Thanks Emordino :) Warrior; Yeah it is a bit strange, it's the release of fact through fiction I suppose. Trapped memories that needed form I suppose. Also I like to appeal to people's fears of car crashes and hospitals because I'm a bitch that way. Jack McMad; I didn’t know that! Nature can have its blessings at times.

I love the heroin reference at the end. They say that upon death the body secretes it's own natural form of heroin giving some people that euphoric, somebody's coming to collect me, white tunnel golden gate feeling.

I really have the greatest of respect for the staff there, it's an amazing but often devastating place. Mammy and Unstranger; No the girl was young with no dependants, and the baby grew up to win the Young Scientist's exhibition, then a Nobel prize for figuring out a way to turn carbon dioxide into alcohol. Nobody grieved, except the girl's driving instructor. GrowUp; Love the Bill Bailey! I'd like to try four legs next time round... a Komodo Dragon maybe.

There are several bits I don't understand. Maybe that's intentional. Intriguing anyway, and wonderfully written. It leaves me with a poignant image of loneliness and relief from loneliness.
