As always, Ogg, you take the mundane and make it sublime, I’d say five stars but this silly system won’t accept a vote for some reason. I’ll be back. Meanwhile, thank you!
A gentle, happy story - just the tonic for an unhappy, difficult time.
I always read that story first, and I haven’t been disappointed yet! This is a charming Christmas tale and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
As always, thank you for writing, and thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you. A friend recently asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I didn’t have an answer...at least I couldn’t put it into words. Reading this, now I can...hope.
I think it was Adrian Mole who had impure thoughts about Pandora's box. You have raised the bar with a sweet tale. Thanks!
Readers will be interested to Google images of Pandora statues - a common subject. Our narrator notes that Pandora's exposed breast is polished because of frequent touching. This is a lovely small detail which rings true. In British Columbia, there is an underwater bronze statue of a Mermaid, positioned to be admired by SCUBA divers. The bronze is covered with a greenish patina, except for the statue's nipples which shine because of the attention given them by divers wearing wet suit gloves.
Nice and I know it's categorised as Romance but the sex could have been a lot more vivid.
