A collosal thank you,Victoria, for you review. I don't think I've ever staggered anything other than repayments before.

Your own story is beautiful and full of hope.

Thank you for the review Victoria

Mine's up! A surprisingly tough challenge. I found my mind going in too many different directions. Of course, I had to follow Victoria's wonderful gem of a story!

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

johnnyjet -- Through the eyes of a skillfully crafted character who seems both very human and much more than human, the reader is given a glimpse of the sublime.

Good work PerpetualMan. Your piece reminded me a little of Basho's famous haiku:

Ah, summer grasses!
All that remains
Of the warriors dreams.

 

[Cat's Cradle]

I agree, really nice story, PM!

 

[ratsy]

Perp, that was beautifully written

 

[Perpetual Man]

Thanks, gdoc (welcome to the challenges), CC and ratsy. I tried to do something a bit different, not my normal style or kind of thing. It surprised me tovfind I did not know what to think of it.

I'm glad you all saw something there, makes it all worth while
