| In spite of the bizarre weirdness of it all, it was a little heartwarming seeing Mother Nature refer to the Heap as her son, forming a sort of mother and son dynamic. It’s perhaps the only affectionate relationship the Heap really has left considering how his past aviator life is effectively gone. |

| I'd say Starr pencils on the Heap. Not sure of the inks. I enjoyed this story...let's hear it for Mother Nature! |
