The melancholy was on purpose- I was basing this story on how I felt after a friend of mine died in HighSchool. Writing it brought back that feeling, like the end of the world was just around the corner, that everything was collapsing.</p> <p>I hopes I caught that feeling, and it looks like I did. thanks again.</p> Bryan- thanks.

I'm referring not to Baba Yaga (always fun), but to the nearly apocalyptic melancholy. At times it felt like a story about children in exile, or whose parents were dead - until we learn of one father, who really doesn't matter. The drive towards entropy, towards dissolution, emptiness, failure, incompletion overwhelmed any movement towards fruition, completion, integration, etc. The title sets us up for that.</p> <p>I really liked the hero's ultimate decision about his heart.</p> What a curious story.

I really liked the hero’s ultimate decision about his heart.

And I think a lot of people (esp horror or fantasy readers) know about her- she is quite a common trope.</p> Well, I’m hoping knowledge of Baba Yaga would deepen the story, and adds another layer.

Of course these days I guess perhaps most folks don't know much about Baba Yaga, the witch of Russian folklore. That bit of knowledge took something away from the story for me. Perhaps it was my heart. :) But it wsa still well written.</p> <p>Blessings</p> <p>HOC, Dark Seducer</p> Not bad!

Jared Axelrod did such a splendid job of embodying the emotions and tribulations of the main character.

Captivating, to say the least.
