Week Four - Task #13. - “The Air Grew Denser”

[Prof. Sindor Aloyarc]

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.
“Wretch,” I cried, “thy God hath lent thee—by these angels he hath sent thee
Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore;
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!”
Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

- You cannot have two skyscrapers with the same height on the same row or column.
- The numbers on the sides of the grid indicate how many skyscrapers would you see if you look in the direction of the arrow.
Place numbers in each cell to indicate the height of the skyscrapers.

If I had to meet some sort of being, that was either angel or an alien in some sort of form, I would ask it many questions, about it's life, if they have friends of the same species, and so forth. It would be very interesting to learn more about them more than it would be scary. I have a certain fascination of things that are out of this world, and it would be my most utter dream to meet them.

[Louis Walles]

I think to meet an angel would be an extraordinary moment in my life that would possibly change the way I think about religion in general, as I am an atheist. It would probably give me the opportunity to finally find a full reassurance about my future as well as about the whereabouts and well-being of those whom I have known before they passed, including my mum or her sister as well as my younger sister.

[Harry Walles]

If I were to have a chance to meet an angel I would probably do similar thing as Louis, meaning I would ask about my family who has passed away. I am mostly curious about my cousin, with whom I was very close but who has since passed due to an accident. He died quite young and he was my best friend so I would love to ask the angel how is he doing in heaven.
