Ah, I simply loved it. I find that many people leave on the darkest note possible, making the story effective? Yes, but perhaps not the kind of reaction a reader wants. What makes this story different, what makes it truly a piece of artwork and something unique is the ending. Letting the story slide into a lighter tone, bring solace to the previous darkness truly makes this the emotional rollercoaster readers want. Not a solid black, or a solid white. But a mix, something more of a gray which people can't seem to create much of more now a days. Amazing poem. I loved it, my friend. -Orion
