This story, I must admit, didn't really do it for me.

The last two sentences are rather nicely done, however.

Mouth relaxed, eyes closed, hair falling gently over his forehead, he looks like a complete innocent.

Which is how I know he's gone.

Wow. That's depressing. Sweet, but depressing.

It's been years since I read it, but I remember now that I liked the dreamy mood that somehow carries throughout. No dialogue, just the details of life and death in slow motion.

I had never read this. It was very depressing. I got very saddened by the idea that either Mulder or Scully could die in a random , non-X-Files way, like a shooting, or an automobile accident. That is a possibility for any of us, though.

I like Analise's longer stories much better, especially "A Thin Veneer."

Running is not an option for us.

For some reason, this simple statement resonated for me.

I liked this. It was quiet and understated and not too sappy (even though it goes down the soul mate path a little bit, which usually puts my back up, though here I could tolerate it).
