Reminded me of the name of that short story this borrows from \"The monkey\'s paw\". (There are a couple of other RMTs that use this concept...I think the downbeat \"The wishing stone\" is one of them). I find myself sometimes thinking \"Just wish your loved one back the way they were BEFORE their tragedy! JUST WISH THEM BACK TO BEING THE WAY THEY WERE!\" However, remembering the times I\'ve not thought clearly in stressful events, I can fully understand how this could happen.

However, this was the thing that stuck with me the most,&nbsp;occurring&nbsp;around the 22:00 mark. It\'s where Mr. Sandefort speaks with his minister, Dr. Fowler (note how the former doesn\'t call him \"Pastor\" or \"Reverend\"):


DR. FOWLER: \"My good man, in this enlightened age when we speak of \'Satan\' it is usually, uh, well...what I mean to say is we think of The devil as the embodiment of all evil but not as an actually being.\"

MR. SANDEFORT: \"I see...well, Dr. Fowler, if you can\'t help us we may have to go to someone who can. There are groups where they believe in The devil...\"

DR. FOWLER: \"Mr. Sandefort, uh...Paul. Please understand. I cannot believe in The devil as being other than an abstract name for evil.\"

MR. SANDEFORT: \"If I can show him to you, will you believe me then? I saw him. I have seen The devil and The devil\'s work and I am frightened to death.\"


Ladies and gentlemen...without getting into \"politics and religion\" this is another reason why the RMT was so unique. Those few sentences are a concentrate of a theological argument that I have read exists between post-modern, liberal theologians and more fundementalist, evangelical conservative ones, and the playwright has woven them into the story very well.

And, more interestingly, the way this is written we know exactly where the story (if not the author) stands.<br>
