      Thanks Jayne! I'm insanely proud of it, tho it took weeks to get it right. It contains King's first dialogue, too! Bless him, we're bigging him up! Indigo x

      That was the most delightful read, it positively transported me outside of the desperate worry and funk for an aging pet that I'm in and that is such a wonderful thing. Deep breath and thanks

      Hey Pix! Welcome to the blog! And thank you, you're very kind. If you'd like to read more, may I recommend the eclectic 30 DAYS OF ROTH entries that started in June? As for your elderly animal friend, I feel for you; I hope everything works out for the best. Best thoughts are with you, Indigo

      Thanks, actually things are improving. Must be your stellar writing:-) As to the 30 days, I've got about a week under my belt...been reading vicariously over Jayne's shoulder for awhile...when the whirl slows I will go back and partake. I did sign up so I should be getting new news as it happens! Keep that lead sharp

      Thanks Paula! I'm just pleased anyone got through it - it's rather a long piece. I might need to do an historical tale with Juno sometime... hmmm... Roth x

    What an amazing story. Simply AMAZING!!! I felt like I was in the room and I want to know more - AWESOME! Surprised anyone could get through it? I couldn't stop reading it and could have read more!

      Hey Sheila! Thank you so much! This kind of tale, a bit of a departure for me, is always a worry. I have a multi-part (and far less serious) tale on the brew, and I'll go through it all again =) I hope you'll check out 30 DAYS OF ROTH from June? Great fun. Indigo x

    Oh, Indigo. Your best. Absolutely the best, and among so many other wonderful stories...

    I feel energized and oddly hopeful. Perhaps, even, as if I have a long journey ahead of me...

      Hey Pearl! Thank you, this is a huge compliment from you. I have my work cut out to keep the standard up on my next tale. But I'll rise to it x Indigo

    This is a WONDERFUL story, and I agree that it's your best ever. Perhaps the best thing we can do in life is make someone a cup of tea, or an equally small but respectful kindness. Nicely done!

      Hey Nancy! Thank you so much. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the response to this, to be honest. And yes, this has a lot of my personal philosophy unintentionally woven in. Indigo x

    This is such a magical and brilliantly told tale that I'm overwhelmed! Honestly, this is so stunning I don't even know what to say! I would be giving you a standing ovation if you were here!

      Hey Linda! Thank you, you're far too kind. It's odd, but I normally struggle to get many folk to read my longer entries; I musta pulled off a trick with this one. I hope it's not lightning in a bottle. Indigo x

    Great, now I'm forced to spend the rest of my day thinking about the meaning of this story when I just as soon be enjoying toasted teacakes.

    Excellent work, Indigo. It's a beautifully told story and, sadly for me, extremely thought-provoking.

      Hey Michael! Sorry if I bummed you out, matey. But thank you, I think it stands up well. I must try something similar sometime. Indigo

    I learned of Pu Yi from Bertolucci's amzing film back in the 80's. First hand from a relative would have been much better. I'm envious {unless that's part of the fiction.} Perhaps not such uncommon knowledge for westerners, but perhaps your visitor had little time for cinema stops.

    Your definition of widom is noble. I have some nagging doubts that you may not personably be noble though my friend. Establishing nobility simply on residence with a lion seems somewhat slapdash of your visitor, especially after all he has experienced. I would have checked you'd washed behind your ears and were able to tie a perfect bow tie. {Not that you spent free time blasting innocent creatures from the sky}

    Congratulations Indigo - your best ever tale from many worthy comparisons. {stands and applauds till the tea infuses}

    Thanks for sharing.

      Hey Alistair!

      Thanks matey, I'm mighty proud of it! I stand offended on the nobility front, tho. As the mighty Vin Diesel once said:

      Being male is a matter of birth.
      Being a man is a matter of age.
      But being a Gentleman is a matter of choice.

      And I'm not arguing with Oor Vinneh!

      Hey Kato! Dammit, I'm being beaten into submission here. Long, poignant tales? MORE OF THEM?! *sigh* I may have to embark on CEPHALO-POCALYPSE NOW! Gagh! Roth x

    Happiness is not a destination, it is the path to that destination.

      Most of the time, I'm not that interested in the destination, and may be unaware if I arrive; the journey is an adventure in itself.

    Oh my, the great lion speaks. :)

    This was an utterly brilliant post, Indigo, and I am happy to have read it. Now, I feel like I need a cup of tea; you have a long journey ahead of you.
