I'm not much for reading at Nifty. I do it once in a while, but usually turn back out of frustration - I find a lot of stories unreadable due to either bad plot, little to no punctuation/spelling control or lack of story. Sometimes, it's all of the above. This story is a sweet fairy tale, something whose core idea could have come from Colin Kelly, perhaps. The little sex doesn't overwhelm the story and is short enough to not become the story, a rarity for nifty. The story is complete and, with the exception of a few quibbles, it's a solid read. It does have multiple POV's, which I don't generally care for, and it does have a few, small, contradictions. There are a few spelling errors and words that should have been caught in editing (to, too) but they are spaced out enough to not knock you out of the story completely. Tell me, and the author, what you think! Read Summer's End.

Sometimes a sweet fairy tale is just what you need to see you through a dark night, and this one is tailor-made for the restless and for those of us who need an opportunity now and then to revisit our conviction that there is hidden, in each pauper, a prince.

Need to do something with the editor if he sends this out as is. If I spotted a few, someone educated will find more minor goofs. Spaces where there shouldn't be any along with what was already mentioned. It's still a good story.
