Author notes
"Where shall we go, maidens? Where shall we go? You must leave the garden. Leave it behind with a sad farewell. Down the river on the gorgon's grace, past the clutches of the slippery nippery nymphs. Through the golden mist of magic. Meet the folk of the fair Forest of Lights. The arrows, the arrows, you must use wisely and well. But save one. Save one for me. For I shall have need of it." - Rebel Angels, by Libba Bray.
Don't make the mistake of thinking I am a poor, weak and meek girl. I make a fearful enemy, and judging an enemy so is an insidious mistake...

This was really short, really metaphorical and I think the flow and grammar was used really well, as well. I think the main concept was easily read by anyone who read it. I think that you have a talented hand at writing in doing something as short as this and even making it as good as you did.
Keep up the great work. I look forward to many more of your future stories. -
Umm... Let me go get a dictionary because I don't know of any words that exist that can describe how I feel about the short passage. It Is one of the most beautiful things I have read In a very long time. When I read It I had flash backs to the type of literature I read In books by acclaimed writers such as Stephen king, Anne rice, and Peter F Hamilton.
From now on you are on that list when ever I come across another great piece.
Great work, and keep It up!
I’m sorry about the really bad comment but like I said, I really couldn’t describe how I felt about it, so ended up with these sloppy piece of **** comment. Sorry
