  SUMMARY

Lucifer is forgiven by God, and gets laid in the process.


  COMMENTARY

This story went a little over my head.  It is very well written, but 
I could not follow all of it.  There were quite a few biblical 
references. Aside from the easy ones, like the Garden of Eden and 
Job, I felt lost.

It was also not clear to me why there was sex in this story.  How was
sex necessary to the plot?  Is that the irony of the story?  That in 
order to be forgiven Lucifer had to experience "loving" sex?

I liked the characters and plot, even though I could not completely 
understand them.  This is due in large part to the splendid job the 
author did writing and editing this story.


  JUDGMENT

This is a very good story, but I found it a bit hard to follow all of
the references.
