Why this must be read: Continuing on with the theme of lists, this story is both sad and sweet. It's the end of all things, and Crowley and Aziraphale are the last beings on earth. As they wait for orders, they play out their time with lists - of what they miss, of what they don't miss - and in the process we (and they) learn a considerable amount. Even 6000 years of friendship can hold a few surprises.
“Mobile phones.”
“Tartan.”
“Plants.”
“Eden.”
Crowley let out a strangled laugh. “Is it just me, or have we been playing this game on
and off ever since?”
“If it’s any consolation, it looks as though we’re nearly done,” sighed Aziraphale.
“You don’t sound too happy about it.”
“Which brings us to a good Cabernet Sauvignon.”
Crowley clapped him on the back with an unsteady hand. “Look at it this way, Aziraphale,”
he said. “Here at last is one occasion you won’t be ridiculously overdressed for.”
“I should think not. It’s the End of the World and I’m wearing cotton.”
“As I recall, last time the world was ending, you were wearing a massage therapist.”
