The subtleties of the human heart are nowhere near easy to get. <br /><br />I wonder how you'd deal with tricky evil fairies. Those that give you what you say you want, or you think you want, and you end up doomed. I'm thinking Neil Gaiman fairies here. ;)Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07303695124956391293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797188666559531190.post-31170401639283812782011-07-10T12:47:22.819-04:002011-07-10T12:47:22.819-04:00I really like this story, Tony.
