This is awesome! It reminds me of my most favorite Edgar Allan Poe story ever, Hop-Frog.

Well-told in the language of traditional stories and legends. :)

I'd never read that Poe story before, so I went and looked it up. It was awesome! Thanks for recommending it! (Although I think The Cask of Amontillado will always be my favorite =D)

And that's exactly what I was going for, to use that kind of storytelling language. Thank you for commenting!

What a neat voice you tell this in - feels like a natural extension of the fairy tale canon.

I'm sorta glad I don't have that sort of power over my enemies. Not that I have many enemies, but I do have...ahem...a "killer" temper sometimes. Oh dear.

More stories like this, please! :)

Lol, I wouldn't want it either xD You know what they say, "With great power comes great responsibility." (You know what I'd say? "Have fun with it!" Oh dear, indeed xD)

Thanks for taking the time to comment, and congrats on moving up this week! =D
