Finally got a chance to read. The short piece in post #6 was outstanding. I saw a number of grammar nits, but those aside, the story was filled with powerful emotion. Much of it was unpleasant. But that is not at all a bad thing in writing. Getting your reader to
feel something, anything, means that your writing is working. You evoked powerful images of loneliness, isolation, and alienation. Especially in the part with the elves. Well done!
