That was completely unlike any other fic, or any other thing I've ever read. You really do have an incredible way with words. Hypnotic, compelling, creepy as hell, disturbing in a skin crawling, guilt inducing way, and terribly sad. loved the interweaving of snatches of dialogue and nursery rhymes, the flashes of cryptic past and future. Your take on Dru's mind is perfectly Dru, and her very personal view of the world and Angelus and Darla is wonderfully conveyed. I need to read this again.
