Thanks! I wanted to convey the idea that even the ugly parts of ourselves that we want to hide probably act as counterbalances to our other more "virtuous" aspects. If we remove either half of the scale, the entire thing falls apart.
@The Yobanashi Girouette, Thats beautifully put and it reminded me of Carl Jungs integration of ones shadow to become whole. With the Witherwills you created a perfect symbolic narrative for this :)
Honestly... you are the first pen I have come across that I'm completely enchanted by.
Your style and dedication to the story is beautiful. You have such clear and clever intentions with flowing sentence structure. Its almost unfair at this point. I'll sit by the fire and read your stories all night long.
Thank you for the beautiful words! That really makes my day ^^
I grew up on Grimm and Anderson, so I've always had a fascination with fairy tales and folklore. It's a genre that is mainly overlooked these days, so I'm grateful these great contests keep popping up on Penana to indulge me.
