>>80111479Not at all. I value your feedback. The story was simply not meant for you. The idea came to me while I was out biking and as it formed it became a tightly packaged vignette about ERB's encounter with one of her subjects. Clearly you desire something grander in scope. That's just a mismatch. As for that one lack you mentioned, the title is AFTER a Crossing of Swords, so perhaps that should have been expected. I do hope you were able to get some amount of enjoyment out of it, and thanks for reading regardless.
Also, I feel like I may be hogging the thread and I do not wish to do so. Perhaps we need more Liz...
