Rating: 3, Good, ordinary, story Recommended By: SFRevu:4
In the style of an old legend, this story tells about what happened to Old Wise Woman's reflection, shadow, and echo after she died.
Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Short as it is, it has clear characters, conflict, and resolution. It even feels like an old legend, whose moral might be that good deeds can have unintended consequences.
Con: The poor young man didn't do anything to deserve what happened to him. It reads like a celebration of cruelty and spite.
