Oh, wow! I absolutely love this! I see a sort of Romeo and Juliet influence here, from the "If I profane with my unworthiest hand" sequence -- then again, maybe not, but don't get me wrong. This is very original, and very well done. I love all the metaphors for a hand, but I especially like the romantic sort at the end, with the straightjacket. I really like the dam, the tomb, the pyre. The beautiful thing about this is how it shows that there can be love even after awful things, like death and sorrow and pain. It's hopeful and loving. This is absolutely going under my favs list. You have such wonderful talent! Keep up the great work here.
