V. Hayrabedian, Pub Crawl
A lovely, sad piece chronicling a broken Ethan's slow circle round the drain. The Giles characterization strikes me as a bit undersupported, but Ethan's musings on his own mortality have a dreamy, bittersweet rightness to them, and his deterioration is handled with a very light touch. Any reservations I had about his behavior melted away under the ending, so read the whole thing before judging.
