Tales from Near and Far
(#) Kraai 2007-02-27
This is my favourite traditional retelling of yours so far. The imagery is so vivid and the Aswang so terrifying. I am going to print this out and show people I know.
Again there were some tense disagreements, especially in the last couple of paragraphs when everything was in present tense where the rest of the story was mostly in the past tense. It is forgivable, though, because of the intensity of the story. Very, very good.
Thank you.
