'I'm sorry to tell you this, but you are decidedly average,' said the angel, peering at me over the spectacles dangling precariously on the end of his long nose.
He was a short, potbellied man with a balding head. Like the other angels, he wore a flowing white toga. Large wings attached to his shoulder blades, and they fanned out behind him, draping over the back of his chair like a coat.
