    @hgm_barnes18 Oh, that makes sense.  Thank you for mentioning that!  I’m so glad you read it – if there’s anything else you have problems with or think could be better, please let me know!

    What I meant when I wrote “lucidity” was limpidness and luminousness and brightness, but if that didn’t make sense, is there another word you would suggest?

    And thank you – your comment made my day. 🙂

    @eden-anderson Thank you!  My idea started out originally inspired by three of my favorite characters from literature.  I want to know if you (and anyone else) can guess them.  It will help me see if I’ve portrayed them well enough.  I only mention little specific trifles that might give them away.

    My thoughts behind this story are rather interesting.  As I began writing, I had not thought of what it would end up like, but by the end, I realized that it had become more about my life and their lives.  I have strived to be like them, sometimes consciously, sometimes not, but I can never become like them.  Their characters are so…unattainable.  I realized that they are ideals and mystic creatures and my story explains attempts to “become friends” with them.  But in the end, it leads me back to discover that I can never enter “faery-land”… too bad.  From there, it’s probably just confusing and a little fanciful, but it’s what I wrote.

    So yeah!  Sorry about the ramble.  It’s in my mind, but hard to put down in writing. 😉
