Awesome! Gosh, I loved it.

Ok, this part was my favourite: 'What nice words would the Priest say as she lay there in her casket, so very dead, relentlessly dead?' just the wording there at the end totally charmed me. Anyway I liked this very much. That ending was amazing, I was so moved. It surely made me think! Oh and I read in your profile that you want to become a paleoanthropologist, I think that's so cool I love paleontology and all the stuff on hominid evolution! Yup thats my geek rant over. Great story.
