The question at the end! At some point we all ask it. Real craft here. Brava!

[marlawentmad]

Thank you so much for reading and commenting! It's difficult to conceptualize the "light at the end of the tunnel," isn't it?

Such a strong, visceral fairy tale feel to this encounter and these two ladies! Now I want to know more about the barkeep! I liked how visual and expressive you made her pain and suffering...for what end indeed!

[marlawentmad]

I feel the same way...this feels like an introduction. I suspect I will be getting to know these characters better sometime in the future.

[messygorgeous]

I agree! Visceral was the exact word I thought of to describe this tale.

[marlawentmad]

What a compliment! Thank you for reading.

[penpusher]

Moody, ethereal, and tantalizing... the hints about all of the trouble with none of the proof, the signs that everything is amiss and the continual and perpetual lack of trust makes this into a swinging pendulum of who is right, who is wrong and who will be happy or at least satisfied at the end!

[marlawentmad]

What incredible adjectives! Thank you kindly.

This is full of so much imagery it's easy to get carried away in it.

[marlawentmad]

I am so pleased you were able to be immersed. Thank you for reading and commenting.
