In a way that I don't think I can describe this kind of story is scarier -- and more interesting-- than most death stories. This is a death of personality story. Ben did something he couldn't forgive himself for and had to go away in both the literal and figurative senses. Ray's reaction is also interesting; he expects it, plans for it. chesamus, thanks for getting this off your hard drive & sharing it with us.
