I love creative ideas, and this was a creative take on a time travel/love story.<br /><br />Although sad, to quote Motel, "even a poor tailor is entitled to some happiness," and they did have happiness. <br /><br />I think the story can be pigeonholed into a classic category--the star-crossed lovers: mortal and immortal (e.g. Aragorn and Arewen), Jew and non-Jew (Chava and Fyedke), different cultures (Tony and Maria), family enemies (Romeo and Juliet), etc.Sabba and Nannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406970517571825905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813083514279997327.post-67166785096305876782012-07-10T01:17:15.921+10:002012-07-10T01:17:15.921+10:00Yeah.
