Amazing, Aaqib. I posted this only 20 minutes ago and, already, you have sent me insightful and encouraging words.

I wrote:

I deliberately crafted this story to take on the form of a "fairy tale" that I learned from my mother. My story, consequently, has some fanciful and magical elements that serve to highlight how I, as a young boy, experienced the events surrounding the death of my mother.

Should I just tell the story and drop this explanation? What do you think?

Namaste,
Aaron

It was an honour to review your work! I always love this Dracula type stuff! Yes, you should include that explanation in Author Notes. I always like to read them as they are pretty insightful at times!

Yowzer, Aaqib. Your enchanted by Dracula tales. As my love story unfolds, your blood-thirst will be entirely satisfied. ~Aaron

Haha it sure will! I am watching the Van Helsing season on Netflix these days. Plenty of blood thirst for me! :-)
