Thank you, April! This is doubly wonderful! We are beyond pleased to receive two incredible Haikus for this chapter! Consider them added to the collection! The special use of the 5 syllable Elementary is pure creative genius on your part.:)

We do! Thank you so much! I couldn’t help, at some point in the story, planting the word “elementary”. So happy you took it to a higher 5 syllable letter!

Thank you, Kristin! That’s amazing to know! We are especially pleased with your choice of quotation and incredibly humbled by it. The Critters worked very hard on crafting the sentence on the pervasive darkness. The end. Furever.
