A truly lovely story, Jennifer (fable, even?).

Thank you Jess.

Yes, I think it is part fable. That wasn't intentional, but the presence of a phoenix helps make that argument. And there are moral points being made, but again, unintentionally.

I think I just wrote a fable lol.

This story is so beautiful, Jennifer! There's such a tender and lyrical quality to the writing and the images are stunning. You do this kind of thing really well. (I am envious.)

Thank you Jean! You’re very kind to say so (and I envy your ability to create huge, cohesive worlds).

Recently, I took a couple of virtual writing classes that emphasized writing stories as a series of images. I’ve been trying to use what I learned. I’m glad to hear it’s paying off.
