well, i can't quite believe that nobody mentioned in the reviews that this story has obviously been translated from another language and it suffers terribly in that translation. i really wanted to try to read it but i had to give up after 6 pages. the language is just too stilted, but more than that - it is almost impossible to read. perhaps you should ask somebody who speaks english as a first language to take a try at it. i would volunteer myself. sorry.
