It wore gloves, like a surgeon.  Sometimes, it used a surgeon's tools.  Sometimes, other things.  Its skeletal smile grew wider, the louder it made him scream. "Just do it," he begged, again and again, until he lost the words.

He'd gone half-blind.  Still, he could see the miracle before him -- an angel, come to offer him peace.  Black wings unfurling, and a golden halo, like a crown, upon his head.

And the angel wept for him, and touched his beating heart, and spoke unto him, saying, "Xander."  And the angel held him in gentle arms, and carried him safely home.
