Ahh @agmoore, your kind words are the treat! I know they make me feel slightly better about the mania that struck when I read the prompt at 6AM, got hit in the cortex with a story idea, hopped out of bed and crafted like a woman possessed by a fairytale muse. Or something, lol!
I'll throw a flannel shirt in the next tale hehe!
Ha Ha.
When I write stories these days, that's exactly how it happens. An idea pops into my head fully formed. And then I pour it onto paper. These seem to be much better than tortured projects.
Whatever the cause. It works beautifully here.
