    It is a sweet, rather sad piece that--like the songs, by Whedon and his brother Jed, which are at once mock-heroic and actually heroic, mock-moving and moving in fact--works both as parody and as a drama. It also works as comedy, from line to line and moment to moment, but it is not, really, a comedy

If you're a fan of writer/director Joss Whedon then you'll have no trouble enjoying this short story but over-wise you might be slightly puzzled by the narrative.… Expand
