Honestly, I don't care any more how the judging will go, your comment has saved my day (or week, as it is). Wow!BSF: Thanks, too. I am just glad to see that I am not alone in my satisfaction wth the story.Macbeth: Thanks again. As I really, really disliked the spelling errors in my first story (and if you haven't read it yet: don't!), I tried to expunge them all this time. A more dramatic ending would have been nice.Perhaps if I had used my idea that Jason used a bread transport to smuggle himself onto the island, then grabbed the girl and ran while armed soldiers pursue? In the end, they are saved by a pair of were-sharks who know how it feels to lose a daughter <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> That would have been it, I think <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Finally, I hope you know my "insanity comment" was just a friendly joke, right? Just to make sure... (in case you really are insane, follow my IP adress, and kill me before the year is done) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />ETA: Honestly, when I read you'd named your story "guilt", I feared for a moment we'd somehow ended up with very similar stories. As it is, I think the stories are related, but not too similar to impede judgements. It's interesting that Sialia's pic was used in a similar vein, though of course the translucentness suggested a visionary use. Judgment should be interesting, indeed.Oh, and as a final edit, I just want to say that the true idea behind the story is orchid blossom's. She wrote she'd wanted to do a story about love, and that kind of stuck with me when I saw the pics.(Now I really hope it *was* orchidblossom and not someone else who wrote that  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> )</blockquote>
