I cried at the end over the heartless betrayal of the poor girl! humans especially of the "upper class" are the most vile creatures.
Great job!

You've done a great job with this story, Michael. Many thanks for taking the time to do this!
pretty good
so so
the voice actor mispronounces many words, and there are moments when his declamation sounds down right goofy
Slow to pick up, but great afterwards.
