He was a few years short of 50 years old when he died. I guess one would say "younger middle age".

Off topic: rssllue - I assume from your sig that you have deep religious feelings. I recently posted the following link in the music thread. I think you might like to see it. It is my understanding that it got a 15 minute standing ovation.

Could it also be catagorized as another genre?
Pronouns: She/Her

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Not really. It is a simple, lighthearted, and somewhat humorous story so perhaps one could say "humor". I would add that it has a somewhat ironic - "Murphy's Law" - theme to it regarding its twist ending.

BONUS HINT: The setting, with regard to time, is important to the story. It takes place in very late autumn.

Yes, the character is an adult and he would be considered older rather than younger.
