A touching story of change and discovery, war and loss, in a world only slightly unlike our own.

Okay, so since at least one person thought this would be a Good Idea, it is here. Since at least one of the folks who would like to see my writings can't read the adult stuff, I am posting one of my not-adult items first as a test item.

Comments on this will contribute to the decision on whether or not to post any of my other stories here. If you like it, comment or you will miss out on the rest.

Now I just need to figure out how best to accomplish a thumbnail icon for the story. Donation of an appropriate thumbnail for the story will be graciously accepted.
