I liked the way that this story operated on two levels. Once the reader realises it's an infection, you expect Sanquor to be the next one affected and wonder what state of mind he will discover he's infected in - will he still believe in his faith? will he have done something he sees as sin?

I also really liked the atmosphere of this piece. The prose really evoked that sense of being in a temple, if that makes sense. I thought it really complemented the piece.
