  Summary

  And for one wonderful, terrible moment, Stanley does not recognize it. It looks small in the sand. It wears a pair of cracked glasses, silver hair, and a riot of mushrooms crawling up its neck.

  In which the Narrator dies in the aftermath of the Skip Button Ending, and Stanley doesn't. And then the Narrator lives, piercingly, desperately, and Stanley lives with him.
  Or: A requirem on living, love, and how it twists into hate.
