The angst here is so well-written, is so palpable - you really feel for him. Just the concept of the ways in which he had hoped to measure his life by is wonderful and heart-breaking.

Thank you! I heard 'Seasons of Love' by RENT the other day and just had this idea, and it wouldn't leave me alone...

Really, thanks ^^
