That's a fascinating story. Thank you so much for sharing it. Do you mind if I post it in my Livejournal and credit you with it? I'd hate for such a good story to be hidden in the comments of this post, heh.

I haven't read Slaughterhouse Five yet, so maybe I ought to take it out of the library. I doubt my private Christian college's library would have it, though it wouldn't hurt to look.
