I'm really hoping this is not the ending we're going to get, but it was the most lyrical destruction I've ever read. I loved the parallelism, too, that at the beginning of the story Lex is cruising for kids to try to save them, and at the end he's doing it to destroy them. In a funny way he's always had the power of life and death over them; becoming a god just amplified his powers; it did nothing to redress the imbalance.

Even though I can't, from this point, see the happy ending I would really love to see, I love the vivid images of Lex unmaking and becoming unmade in this story. It reminds me of some of the imagery in Hourglass, only magnified by about a million.
