		<description>Well, I&#039;ll admit, some people might not read it since it&#039;s so long, but if you&#039;re going for the idea that you want material for your future generations to read, it&#039;s perfect.</description>

		<description>Thank you. I was worried that at 6 full pages (in word) the story was too long.

I read something interesting last night. C.S. Lewis was writing about George MacDonald. He said that George wasn&#039;t that great of a writer, but what made him enjoyable was what he wrote about when he wrote fantasy. He wrote myth. Myth is different from fiction, in that it doesn&#039;t matter how or what you write when you write myth, it&#039;s the story behind the myth that makes it good. Something true and good comes through the myth. A series of recognizable events that harmonizes with the reader to create a familiar and enjoyable experience.

So I guess what I&#039;m trying to say is, that what you said, reminded me of what he said, when you said I &#039;spoke for all people who have dealt with sales people&#039;. I told the myth of the salesman.

I&#039;m glad you enjoyed it. I thought for sure I was in danger of losing my readership with it, since it is so long, and may not have been interesting to anyone but me...</description>
