Utsukushii desu...

dude, i'm running outta praise here! I've told you before that this piece made my eyes water...it did it again. oo and your imagery is amazing...beyond anything I could do...seriously...beautiful, beautiful imagery. And that chess metaphor...man, I love that. Again, emotion...human emotion...it's all there, and you write it with skill...dude, too much...there's a drop of water plopping on my keyboard *slaps head* It's on the space bar o_0...again...amazing...

Beautifully written. I'm usually better with dialogue then descriptions with my novels, but you have done a very good job with this piece.
