I'll be praying for you. <br/><br/>On a less serious note, this is how I was half-expecting the Quilt story to end:<br/><br/>The narrator holds up her quilt. The light of God flows through it and vaporizes anyone who didn't have the sense to wrap their quilts around them. I couldn't decide if it was going to be a humorous or serious ending, but I was expecting something gory.<br/><br/>Much of the "glurge" I've read seems to end with great harm coming to anyone who doesn't agree with the narrator (or anyone who doesn't have enough faith, or who doesn't do a specific task to *prove* their love for God, etc).<br/><br/>It's nice to read an email story that doesn't follow these rules. On a serious note:
