I'm a little torn about this short story. The writing style was extremely wordy. There were plenty of run on sentences, and lots of flowery language.

I enjoyed the poetic imagery this story used and would have enjoyed the story itself a lot more if it were more comprehensible. There were quite a few phrases that I didn't get and some words that may have been misspelled, or at least very uncommon.

Overall, I liked this film... read
