"This was pretty good. It should perhaps be changed from a fantasy story to a horror story. There were a few instances where you'd leave out key words in sentences. An example is as follows: "I looked into the faces of the attendant and of the ancients whose set faces confirmed their knowledge. Didn�t want to argue. What should be read here is the letter I making it I didn't want to argue. I am a little curious as to your decision to tell the story in dialogue throughout the entire piece. Nonetheless, it was very well written. Keep up the magnificence." -- Michael Harris, Detroit.
