"Hello Operator, Please Give Me Number Nine"

I offer this story as proof that fandom is brilliant.

Hello Operator, Please Give Me Number Nine, Calvin & Hobbes

Susie plays Calvinball with Death.
Childhood is a country that everyone lives in for a little while, until they get too big for the soil to support them anymore. But maybe you can still visit, if your passport is good and you aren't on a no-fly list for being too grown up and bitter about it.

There are no words to surpass the author's own to explain how brilliant this is.

I'm so impressed. I can't wait learn who wrote it, so I can read everything they've ever written, ever.
