You're very welcome! :-) I'm just glad it worked; this was the only idea that really struck a chord in my mind, so I wrote it even though it's far from what I would normally write in this fandom. (That's what I love about lyric wheel challenges.)

As for the imagery, well, the song is pretty inspiring. I lifted at least one image almost wholesale from the lyrics ("halo of chalk dust and gold"--okay, just the one word), because it was so perfect for Charlie.

Thanks for letting me know that the voices were okay, too. I reworked the phone conversations several times, because I was worried about that. :-)

I think it worked very well, and I liked the halo. :) Don't forget to announce the story on Numb3rCrunching!
