Review:
Wesley is in love with a dead man. Or at least that’s what he believes.

This is an insidious little piece that stuck with me years after I read it the first time. Wesley is so completely obsessed with this man he never even met and it makes this story seem even darker than the average dark tale. The best part of this is how realistic it all is. Wesley is so terribly dark from Season Three on that it’s easy to believe he could have gone ‘round the bend earlier. The ending to this one is a killer.
