This was such a pleasure to read. I love your poetic vibrance and bringing in the perspective through the woman's eyes. The whole Story has me ready for the next chapter. I love the dialogue and way you brought to life what it might be like for anyone to be brought down into that situation. Temptations, the ability to abstain, then, through spells, falter, then acceptance, bravery, wisdom and light. Beautifully enchanted. Even in Hell there is hope, a sense of logic and even an honor code. Balancing light and dark, life and death. Clever!!
I do not know what to say – this is absolutely extraordinary.
This comment made our day! Thank you so much for reading. <3
I love the duality you have in this piece! Especially at the end. You capture the balance--and the balance within Persephone/Kore--well.
Thanks so much Hayley!! It took years to transform this from a poem.
