Lovely words Jenny.
They make me think of our dog, Snezhinka. We rescued her from the street when she was a pup so she's still a bit wild, spending a lot of time alone in the forest. I'm sure she has delusions of grandeur.

Don't let go of that flimsy branch Jenny. A bit of mulch round your roots and a mild winter and you'll be grand, I'm sure.
I completely agree with what's been said here about escapism. Reading the words of others and writing my own takes...

Great story! I enjoyed this... both parts. But I'm worried that if there is a part three it might be set in a JML women's refuge.
