I agree with spider. It is very much a darker version of a fairytale, and a bittersweet one at that. Woven throughout your writing is this feeling of pain and longing. It's written almost in poetry format, with the rhyming words.

Talent-cursed, you are, and you're booking up my favorites with your writing.

This is a lovely little story, like a darker fairytale, but so curiously written. I love your style. Keep it up. This is a very eclectic piece of work. :)
