We talked extensively about this via e-mail, and I know you had difficulty writing the story (which I have yet to finish)and were contending with some very personal feelings and struggles re: Peter, the Revel, the Smoke, etc. But it was so beautiful, even just the first half. So well done, compassionate, introspective, and yet challenging for each sibling in specific ways. And the foreshadowing has been outstanding. You have created an absolutely amazing piece, and I'm so glad it has been cathartic for you. :)
