Shereen--Bravo on 6 beautiful stories in and of themselves! I love the powerful quote from Tree Langdon--very tricky, indeed! However, you nailed it with these 6 worlds within within worlds. I especially enjoyed 1 and 2--personification gets me every time (in a great way); the idea of Conflict and Irony as entities, characters in and of themselves offers a magical bridge, uniting poetry and prose. Thank you for tagging me. Great work!!!
