Oh, this is GOOD.

Very well done. Your depiction of that character was both a surprise and utterly captivating. At times he reminded me of Macbeth and Demona in his loneliness, and I'm pleased by the ending. Great job.

Wow, Christine, this is easily one of your best. So simple yet so sweet, and I didn't even know what this was about until I read "Emir" and all this understanding rushed to me. Simply divine.

Beautiful.
