"I crap better magic than this," Vail had said.

Hanging in the air, a knife twisting in his gut, Wesley was able to pick a few coherent thoughts out of the maelstrom of his mind.

He'd failed. Again.
I love you, Fred.
Why, oh why, on this day of all days, hadn't he brought a gun instead of a knife?
