She is a put-upon survivor in her own mind. Even her daughter feared her.<br /><br />Jennifer:<br />Like Sam said: good has always been a measure of comparison. In many ways, Marie is a brusied soul who has lost her way.<br /><br />Angela:<br />Sam has lived so long and seen so much that he has become more tolerant than most, seeing shades of gray where many only see stark white and black. I'm happy to see you back here again!!<br /><br />Avadonja:<br />Thanks. I'll try to be more clear about Marie's familiar in following prose about the two of them. I'm happy you wanted to check up on me! RolandRoland D.

When it hit me that it was a real snake, the picture stuck with me (which is why I mention it now).<br /><br />I'm not doing A-Z, I met you in the indie author tag fest awhile back and thought I catch up with you.Avadonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17558137341367620003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-57406620675908917222012-04-21T12:40:09.589-05:002012-04-21T12:40:09.589-05:00I love this piece, Roland. The characters, Marie ...I love this piece, Roland. The characters, Marie in this piece particularly, are presented so well the imagination can't help forming them, easily, in our minds.<br /><br />I love that good and evil lacks that clear cut bold line. Good and bad, like beauty, is often decided by the eye of the beholder...and two beholders could perceive different things about the exact same thing.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-73714754569323884042012-04-21T11:42:33.819-05:002012-04-21T11:42:33.819-05:00What a malevolent character!
