All Comments on 'Loving the Land'

I still need 13 votes. I would much rather be beaten fair and square in the contest than not have enough votes to get in. I know this story is purple beyond belief; I was thoroughly sloshed when I wrote it. Still, it's my baby, and I'd much rather see it die valiantly in the contest than languish in obscurity. Please help me out. I'd love any comments, too.
