This was fantastic! I loved the subtly of the exposition, unfolding the context of events through organic reflection on the events rather than just telling.
I loved how as they started talking about the staffs and snakes it becane clear what you were writing about. Absolutely on love with the idea of the Exodus story from the perspective of the Egyptians, and what a genius idea to get them discussing their ideas of what Moshe and Aharon are and their source of power through their own worldview! And what a genius way to represent God's power over all other powers🙌
Thanks so much for this! It feels so good when someone gets what I'm trying to do. I really appreciate you getting it.
I started publishing my old and new stories on a new publication and now I add a "behind the curtain" section where I explore the easter eggs. You may enjoy the behind the curtain of this story since you understand it so well:
so you know, It'll be when we talk about Mooreeffoc. in the discussion of Recovery from On Fairy Stories. Usually I read The Wretched Stone by Chris Van Allsburg to the class.
What a great story! Love the slow revealing of the plot, the distinct personalities of the characters and the silly beginning of 'a wizard, a warlock and a sorcerer walk into a bar' Amazing
A wizard is never late. A very ancient saying indeed :)

I'll definitely check it out!
love this.
Would you object to me sharing this story with my High School English students?
We are currently talking about Fantasy and Fairy Tales and On Fairy Stories and related topics (private christian school, so this would be perfect).
Please do!!
awesome.
so you know, It'll be when we talk about Mooreeffoc. in the discussion of Recovery from On Fairy Stories. Usually I read The Wretched Stone by Chris Van Allsburg to the class.
This year I'll read this story as well.
Fantastic!!
