Now that was a great ending!

Thank you! I got the idea from the song lyrics; the end of the song is, "her safety now concerns me; her circumstance to blame..." and thinking of it in this context was part of what made me want to write a story about it.

I feel like Oliver Twist. I want MORE. Great story!

Oh, no, now I have to sell you out of the orphanage! Thank you!

Well, when you can't GET a miracle, I suppose it IS best to make one.

I really do like song-inspired stories. Most lyricists leave a lot of room for interpretation in their lyrics, which gives the rest of us the opportunity to fill in details and pieces. I love what you did with this one - I think you genuinely enhanced my enjoyment of the song. Nicely done! Hurray!

Yeah, and I could be all day with a song and probably come up with three different stories based on it.

Thank you so much. It's a beautiful song and I wouldn't want to ruin it.
