that story is totally awesome! I put it on my faves list... I really liked the last four lines. I also liked the way it was so long, but still rhymed well all the way through without losing its rhythm or anything. AWESOME topic, too. surprised this hasn't gotten loads of reviews..

Wow, I liked all the archaic and celtic words and names like mere, baird, Liam, etc. The tolkienesque bittersweetness that I love from a lot of your stuff. Very cool.
