This has a dreamlike quality that cannot be underestimated. Not sure what the origin or meaning of this story is, but it resonates with me.

Pretty weird, and could just as easily have been entered in the fable challenge. Memorable nonetheless.

Very weird and definitely seems to suggest something far different than the surface read.

I tried to do something clever here that I see from the comments didn’t work. The “beasts” are daddy’s hands (me).

Ah, I see – that does make more sense.

Thanks for clarifying!
