The end..
the storybook closes,
And the last closing lines,
Don't say
Happily ever after.
They say you're finished speaking,
Finished dialogue,
Finished me.
The end..
the storybook flutters to the floor,
Beside a limp outstretched arm.
The end.
Happily gone thereafter.

still d-i-s-c-o-n-n-e-c-t-e-d
I am bound by this, you see...to become Night's sole mistress, and I am jealous in my endeavours for his attention.

Jen..this is sad hon...can't possibly critique it...is that too biased? LOL...

I just want to give you a hug - not a critique...

(One little thing since you dare people to be honest...I think 'they say you're finished speaking' needs to be 'they say you have finished speaking' - makes more grammatical sense...)

Now I will just carry on being sad...

this is only one end that you're seeing. . . pick up the book and take another look at it. . . perhaps it will make better sense then. . .

powerful writing. . .

Severn,
I don't think its biased, but if it is, then thats fine too. Thanks for reading,and everyone remember that while my words are honest, they are not always felt at the time I write them..so I'm okay.  

Affy,
Thanks. I'm wonderful.  

Sven,
Thanks.   Thankfully, there is more than one book and a never ending series.

Yes I have known those feelings, I had to put the book aside for awhile, then picked it up again and together we rewrote it in a way that could have a happy ending..Best wishes to you..you deserve the best.
