And this is the end. I wrote it over 3 years ago. Looking back I’ve asked myself If I would have chosen this ending now, with the knowledge I’ve gained as a writer. And I have hesitated, it’s true. But so much foreshadowing had gone into it that I couldn’t change it. I’d left the ball rolling slowly ages ago and there was no stopping it just because I had grown attached to the people I was writing. But I realised that what I really was hesitating over was leaving these characters for good. They have become very good friends to me and as crazy as it sounds I do talk to them as if they are real people. So good-bye Anders. Good-bye Maria. I really will miss you.

My dear friend’s Stephen and Xania from Trike have done a beautiful, sad little song that they let me put up on my site as a tribute to Anders Loves Maria. Thanks guys!

And at the risk of sounding a bit tacky, If you feel like leaving a donation as thanks for all the years I would really appreciate it.
