That’s really cool, Alex.
I replaced that misty pine forest image because, though it was appropriate, it was boring. The one there now has the spiral like the spindle, etc.
Its by a guy called Stu Jenks. He makes these all over the place.You might like his stuff. He has a website http://www.stujenks.com.

AND YOU KNOW IT MAKES ME THINK OF THE WORD IN GERMAN “spinne” which means “spider”, it looks like spin, or spine in english with which everything holds together, like the constellations. so then when the earth is off axis a new story has to be woven like does the witch,she is like the lady of the stars.also it maks me think of a game called in french “osselets”, it s from greece, made with bones of pork or mouton. the bones look like rings of the spine for me so i prefer it that way, and so you have to throw them in the air keeping some of em between your fingers, ands catch them up in different ways, but then it makes me think of divination.

Wow Alex, Again you say such intriguing things!
I am glad you are enjoying it. It unfolded quite naturally as I went along. But I am not quite at the end yet.
I am waiting to be surprised by the characters as they tell me what they want to do.

I REALLY LIKE YOUR WRITING CAUSE IT IS NICE SIMPLE AND FREE.SOME PEOPLE SHINE ALONE UNTIL THEY ATRE CAUGHT BY THEY OWN REFLECTION WHERE THEY CAN WALK THROUGH THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR.

IT IS STRANGE ALSO THAT THE KING CAN T LOOK INSIDE HIMSELF, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY HE IS SCARED THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE A LOOK. THERE SEEMS TO BE A WHEEL THAT GOES CONTRARY TO NATURE, AND ONE THAT WANTS TO BE ONE WITH IT. IT SEEMS FUTILE TO FIGHT A WHEEL. IT IS A STRANGE CHAPTER, CAUSE WHEEL SEEMS TO BE STOPPED FROM SPINNING, THERE S LOTS OF CLUTTER, AND YOU DON T REALLY KNOW HOW IT IS GOING TO UNFOLD. ALSO THE SLEEPING BEAUTY THEME MAKES ME THINK OF WINTER AND THE WIDOW, EVERYTHING HAPPENS UNDER A THICK BLANKET OF SNOW, UNTIL THE WHEELS ARE SET IN MOTION AGAIN AND NATURE IS ALLOWED TO BLOOM FORTH. EVERYTHING IS JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN NOW. IT SEEMS AT THIS POINT EVERYTHING IS FROZEN IN TIME, THE CHARACTERS SEEM TO BE WAITING ALERT, MAYBE ALL THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN BURNT, BUT THEIR OWN WHEELS KEEP TURNING, AND THE MIGHTY WHEEL AND THE PLANETS TOO.THEN WHEELS GIVE THE IMPRESSION OF MOTION BECAUSE NOTHING IS OPEN. THE PRINCESS SEEMS TO BE OPEN BUT EVERYBODY IS CLOSED TO HER, BUT IT ALSO SEEMS THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD THAT SHE HAS TO LET THE WHEEL SPIN AROUND HER TO OPEN DOORS.THIS CHAPTER IS VERY COMPLICATED AS THE PRINCESS IS INTHE CENTER AND YOU HAVE ALL THESE CONTRARY MOVEMENTS AROUND HER, WHILE THE WITCH KEEPS SPINNING THE WHEEL FOR HER, OR HER WHEEL, THERE IS A KIND OF PRESSURE THAT HAS TEETH THAT WANTS TO TEAR APART THE VEIL AND FATE.SO THE BEAUTY IS SLEEPING FOR NOW, OBLIVIOUS BUT WAITING, AND ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTING TO MAKE HER GO TO SLEEP IN THE FLESH. THIS COURT IS LIKE THE BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE REAL COURT, UNTIL EVERYTHING WAKES UPAND FINDS ITS WAY THROUGH TO SPRING TIME.IT S A NICE STORY WHERE THE OTHERWORLD GATHERS ITS LEAVES, UNTIL THE TREE FINDS ITS BALANCE.THIS CHAPTER IS REALLY A THRIVING ONE, SO YOU WONDER WHAT PLANT IS GOING TO GROW OUT OF THIS.

THE KING TOO MIGHT BE A SLEEPING BEAUTY

ALSO LIKE THE LINK BETWEEN THE PRINCESS AND THE WITCH AS THEY ARE BOTH HIDDEN BEHIND A VEIL. SOMETIMES I FEEL THAT THE PRINCESS IS SENDING THE MIND WHEELS SPINNING AROUND HER CAUSE SHE MAKES A STRONG IMPRESSION, AND THE KING SEEMS TO TRY TO HOLD ON BY FEAR OF OPENING HIS HEART.ALSO THE PRINCESS SEEMS TO BE WHAT PEOPLE SEE OF THE WITCH AND THE WITCH IS WHAT IS HIDDEN, BUT MAYBE SHE L COME OUT TOO, ONCE THE WHEEL HAS SPUN.
HAPPY SPINNING ARLENE

I LIKE THE FACT THAT THE SPINNING WHEELS ARE BURNED ON THE PLACE WHERE THE QUEEN HAS BEEN DECAPITATED. ALSO I LIKE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE WITCH AND THE PRINCESS AS THEY ARE BOTH IN A TOWER.IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY ARE TWO SPINNING WHEELS TOUCHING EACH OTHER SPINNING IN A SEPERATE DIRECTION, THE INTERESTING THING WITH A WHEEL IS THAT YOU CAN FIGHT AS MUCH AS YOU WANT EVERYTHING COMES BACK AT THE BEGINNING IN THE END.ALSO I LIKE THE PRINCESS CAUSE YOU ONLY SEE HER GIVING THE IMPRESSION TO PEER INTO THE KINGS SOUL, WHICH IS THE REFLECTION OF THE MOON.SHE SEEMS TO SEND WHEELS SPINNING BY NOT DOING MUCH BUT BY BEING HERSELF, WHEN EVERYONE AROUND HER SEEMS TO BE CONTEND IN KEEPING HER BEAUTY ASLEEP.
