No worries, Liz. That happens to me aaaall the time. :) Gotta start this reply with - you have no idea how much your comment means to me. You're absolutely right, I wanted to try something...unconventional. Describing characters with only their words was a challenge. I usually rely on a lot of standard description, so I was trying to do something a bit different. Glad you noticed. Also, at first I was only trying to make it...practical, so to say, but it did sort of turn out allegorical, didn't it? It's my first story of this type, so it's mostly experimental. I've got a few others like this planned, so you'll probably see some more soon. Again, your comments mean so much to me! This is actually the first serious review I've received for any story, especially one as weird as this one. So, thanks and I'm glad I managed to capture your interest. :)
