Love the picture of her wishing for the days of tumult instead of the eternal tumult of the Castle

[rickashay1]

Thank you so much! She is such a sad character sometimes, but I really do see her feeling like this, especially during the first years of his death.

As always, a great peek inside Sessmom's head. It's interesting to see how she's sort of internalized the feelings of chaos now that the things around her have grown stable and stagnant. Good job!

Thank you so much! You stated perfectly what I was hoping to accomplish. There is turmoil all around us, but it's interesting to me that some people do wish for more turmoil or they are afraid of it. Interesting thoughts.

Oh this is totally gorgeous! There is simply no other word to describe this! The irony of the situation, the lifeless peace of a graveyard, you have captured it all so well through your prose. I couldn't help thinking that in the Lady's life the General represented chaos. And she was in love with this chaos, that was where she truly felt alive. Could it be because she was brought up in an atmosphere of inactive despair? Or am I reading too much into this? Great job with this one!

Thank you so much! I've been reading on dramatic irony, so it was slightly inspired by that. "Could it be because she was brought up in an atmosphere of inactive despair?" Haha, yeah that's exactly it. I grew up in a bit of a chaotic environment emotionally, so when it manifests physically it's harder to deal with versus just...dealing with it internally. Thank you so much!
