Okay, really liked this story. The atmosphere was well described, as were all of your main characters. The pacing was also fairly solid, and the ending was good. If I have any criticism, it's that the description does not do justice to the story itself.

I loved every word. There are a few spelling mistakes, but that is neither here nor there. I love the feeling of fairy tale that is woven into this story. The little details are simply brilliant. You've done wonderful work with this month's prompt. I always enjoy reading your writing.

Augie, I think in many ways this is the best work I've seen you do. There's a little editing to do, but there is such a clean, dreamy lack of self-consciousness here - excellent!
Love the name choices - Rampion the bellflower and Caspar the ghost - but, um, Castelmoron?
