Review for Story
That was an excellently told story. At first I was skeptical since it is sometimes difficult to become attached to new characters, but I was quickly drawn in by the stories that Zell tells and the memories which the stories drag up from deep within him.
The truth of the real world grows more and more bitter as your tale progresses, bitter but entirely believable and wonderfully, there is still hope at the bottom of the jar somehow.
There were so many amazing moments in the story that it would be fruitless to enumerate them all. Especially poignant were the scene where Sheri arrives in her uniform, the sinking of the old Garden and Rinoa's last visit with Zell.
The ending was beautifully chilling and I also really enjoyed the legend that you invented. Thank you for a captivating read.
