The picture is stunning, as are the words. I suppose I'm reading this as a companion piece to your 'Folklore', so the beauty seems to have a number of barbs. Particularly liked the verse about history shooting arrows.

Hi! Welcome to ABC Tales.
Very intruiging start to your story and I am looking forward to seeing where it will go next. I like the blending of SF and fantasy and the way you contrast the day to day requirements of the narrator's job and...

Clear-eyed about the risks

I've read both parts of this through a couple of times now, and really enjoyed the lyricism and magic. I did feel that perhaps there was a little too much back story to start off with - possibly you could have established the circumstances...

You tell that Freddy where to go.
I loved the description of your childhood efforts to stay awake, and the skilful way you marry them up with your present situation. I hope you had a great day at the ballpark.
