Mistress Merciless

"Mistress Merciless" is a lyrical short story of a beloved little girl whose gentle reign over all hearts earns her a name both playful and tender. In a beautiful garden she befriends a lame boy called Master Sweetheart, who speaks of a distant land called Ever-Plaisance with quiet certainty, as though his journey there is nearly complete. Between bird rescues, a battered doll, and a nightly bedtime tale of the train to Shut-Eye Town, Field captures the fragile, luminous quality of a child's life shadowed by impending loss.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
