I have in some way been deeply affected by this piece of writing. It has taken me to a place of air and mist and vague disquieting feelings. It has pulled me into a dream state, a place where my feet don't touch the ground and where there is no solid footing, as if I've inadvertently walked into a painting of the moors or a heavily blanketed, mystical forest and can't get my bearings. It's not a short story. By definition, a short story has a fully developed theme but is significantly shorter and less elaborate than a novel. No, it's definitely not a short story. The words "tone poem" come to mind, but, no, that is for an orchestra. But, still, this is an art piece, a painting with words...Claude Debussy...Impressionist Music...come close to describing the experience here...this writing focuses on suggestion and atmosphere. Very intriguing. And I, as the reader, have been left wandering the moors. An interesting place to visit now and again.
