This is really beautifully written. So poetic and sad.

Lovely modern myth...reminds me of elements of Persephone and Pygmalion stories.

Thank you. When I saw the prompt I thought of golems actually :)

Have you read Francesca Lia Block? This is very reminiscent of her style. I love it.

Glad you liked it.I've not read any of Block's work, so thanks for pointing out a new author to me!
