Hey Benz. ^_^ Welcome to YWS. Before I glance over the piece, I'm glad you dropped in; and you might want to introduce yourself in the Welcome forum. You always ...

Hullo Familiar, To begin, you've got a penchant, I'd say for dialogue. 'Tis always a good way to move a story, especially when it's done thoughtfully; and a brisk pace ...

'Lo Amelia, It certainly does present in a more than poetic way. ^_^ Of course, poetic prose is lovely. But I think a certain poetic abstraction (license, perhaps ^_^') has ...
