Second person is always best for avoiding genders, and it gives a very poignant feel for this. Only not sure whether it's meant to be the story of one angel or several, but the vivid imagery kept me reading to the end. Great one!

Thanks, glad you liked it. It was meant to be six different angels/angelic beings from the 'holiest' (the archangel and seraphim) to the 'least holy' (fallen angel and nephilim) with the other two being somwhere in the middle. I was really worried about trying to get across what I could picture in my head so I'm glad it worked.
