  Summary

  After kissing his Angel and being abandoned, Crowley no longer wishes to live.
  Alone and miserable, the serpent from the Garden of Eden finds himself living amongst the garbage behind the bookshop. This is what the rest of his immortal life was meant to be: wretched, filthy and rain-soaked.
  But everything changes when the angel he loved so dearly suddenly reappears before him. Everything changed when Aziraphale told him he was going to die soon.

  Was God, Satan – or whoever – finally going to answer the only prayer he had dared to say? Now that he had just found his angel and he finally wanted him back?
