Something about this reminds me of The City of Dreaming Books (great book, by the way); I think an offshoot of this could be interesting

good mythical tone and feel. well done.

I like this. Though I thought we were going to hear something more traditional as a story in there.

Any time I hear dream-like tales in this vein, I’m reminded of Neil Gaimans’ Sandman series.

This is really good I like it!

i love the mystical language used to set the tone, a bit like a fortune teller. I agreen with Mr Finn that it isn’t a traditional story, per se, but on ficly it doesn’t always need to be.

Lovely lyrical, magical almost, ode to what storytelling is, or can be. Feels like it could be ficly too, if I’m feeling grand about what this little site is.

Is the ‘the’ before ‘humility’ intentional/needed/style choice? Just a thought.

Thank you all for your comments. This story rose out of a conversation with another ficly author. She had a great idea that had arisen out of the conversation and she offered it to me. In a fit of imagination, I wrote the majority of the italicized text as a response and decided it would be a good story- or at least an idea. Ficly is the dream market place where we exchange ideas, stories, and comments.
@ THX- fixed the error. There was a different word there previously and I forgot to double check the grammar.
Thank you everyone, I really appreciate the comments, likes and criticisms.
