This is a very intense and tragic story, @nancybriti1. And perhaps the darkest story we have seen from you in The Ink Well! Our hearts break for the people of the town, and for Anastasia and Milo, especially as the story winds down to its tragic ending.

We have one important note for you, just to guide you for the future. In The Ink Well, we are very sensitive to violence and especially abuse or brutal treatment of innocent people and creatures. While there are no graphic scenes of violence, the imagery is strongly indicative of trauma as the animals are slaughtered. This is just something we ask that you avoid in the future. Please be sure to read our article on the topic of violence. Thank you!
