Let Right Be Done (Inspired by the 1999 British movie, "The Winslow Boy") Must we not heed those words lest we fall irrevocably victim to the patient shadows of darkness where forked tongues stand watchful feeding on our lust for ease thirsting for the weakness within us to stumble and lose ourselves in their lair wherein one's nemesis reign with sharpened sense spewing forth their doctrine crowned with jubilant and invidious glee awaiting our before intrepid souls to stray from right's path invigorated by our lack of will they rejoice as we stagger and succumb to deceit's lure watching as with now lax will we don the robes of deceit that fit with such increasing ease as thread by tattered thread we shrug away truth's cloak and soon lies drift from our tongues as effortlessly as pollen floats upon the wind. |

Exceptional work, dear Marcia, your psychological approach reflects such situations very sharply. (went to read the summary of the story) Love, Margherita |
