This is lovely write Elena much enjoyed thanks for sharing and also for the lovely comments you left me. :) One typo Plague for plaque?
Elena, except for the fact i dare not make fun on this one, i enjoyed it very much. i too was wondering what he was doing at first; i'm glad you found out and told us. there is no lack of suffering and remorse in this world, but we here (most of us i dare say) in the u.s. are more fortunate than those in some other countries (too many countries! !) . i don't believe in God or Heaven, but it would be NICE if there IS some haven (like heaven) for those who have suffered while on Earth. i like the rhymes, especially size/lives. nicely done. the story is imaginative and well-constructed. i DO feel that in many cases the displays of loss/grief which are shown, by the 'public', for such public tragedies is overdone. NO, I'VE CHANGED MY MIND ALREADY. it is NOT that the displays are overdone; publicity of such events causes them to touch many hearts and many feel like grieving, or like they should seem to grieve at least. the really unfortunate situation is when one or a very small number (like family members) of people are left to grieve/deal with it without support from others. i guess i've said my peace! :) bri guess i was too late to catch the typo.
