The thing about the story was that it was so long and kind of decent in plot that it made you forget you were reading a joke, until at the end which refers back to the original intent. That puts "better late than never" into the perfect context for the punchline. Brilliant, personally.  | ||

Still, I think someone should rewrite the story so it has some deep philosophical ending about humanity's crimes or something else. | ||

people follow the rule of spoilers so well, but they suck at reading the OP the result is that if you reply to the OP, you feel like you have to spoiler tag the content of the OP. hahahaha | ||

You spend the whole story waiting for a joke... and the joke is "better late than never!". It's genius; agreeably not laugh out loud humour but genius none the less. | ||
