[@Cyclone] I'm glad the story reminded you of so great a tale. For my writing, or even the themes in my writing, to be compared to anything of Chinua Achebe's is a pretty big deal! I've been working on Thanatos for a very long time, though that last post was done in a rush (was going to be far more detailed, over several posts, and I was going to go into more detail concerning Maki and Bato's child) but I am pretty happy with it as it is all things considered.
