Thanks Raphael. I wrote it a while back when we were having a total eclipse. There was a radio station talking about what happens during a total eclipse. It inspired me so much I wrote this story in one sitting. My fingers could not stop. It was amazing.

Wow, Genie. I enjoyed the story. It shows a different part of your craft than I have seen before. It felt like a satisfying ancient story polished by years of being shared by time and children
