Well, it looks like this story has fallen into the limbo of unfinished tales - unless someone wants to start it up again? Or polish it off? What went wrong? Was it a bad choice to begin with? The beginning of it came from a traditional folk tale whose pattern may have been already familiar to some. Might it have been better to begin with something completely new to everyone? I think perhaps. What do you say, shall we kill this one off, start another one, or forget the whole thing?
