awesome. AWE-SOME. and exquisie and urgh. You had a very light touch with Peter, and that was GREAT, because it's how i've always seen him, just there, and lurking and being slightly there and insinuating. This was just a thousand knife twists all stretched out. I loved the way you subtly contrasted all the different remuses, and how you caught the stillness so, so well. And finally, that you didn't end with him dying, but with a time when he was probably the happiest. I read it once, then read it again, and it sounded like a eulogy. Or maybe an elegy. The way you end off your recount of someone's life not by saying "Well, like everyone knows, he died" but by saying "Well, he DID die, but THIS is when he was happy".
Of course, the contrast just twisted the knife in a little more deeply.
