Oooooh. Good set-up.

Wow…just wow.

I wanted to leave a special comment here because you were (in my mind anyway) the runner up in this challenge.

The level of tragedy evoked in your story is wonderful. Clever word crafting and emotion made this a powerful read.

I am now going to follow your work and hope you keep writing pieces of this caliber.

Thanks a bunch, Jape!

Ohhh so sad . . .
