You "do" prose just beautifully! Without painting too clear a backstory, yet offering the psychological details and mystery that make us want more. And of course, I loved the re-interpretation of Poe's "The Raven." With a little bit of the "The Tell-Tale Heart" mixed in for good measure, as well. :)<br /><br /><i>this black heart is swinging through the sky</i><br /><br />That sentence made me shiver. Wow. <br /><br />I hope we see more stories in the future!Sarah Hinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13888406261817690010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474566446391728432.post-14900320961301255972010-01-21T07:58:10.253-05:002010-01-21T07:58:10.253-05:00Prose, but, oh, so poetic...
