I loved this, particularly the image of her “veil of strings.” However, you have one sentence that needs revision: it was obscured by the veil of harp strings she perched behind sounds a bit awkward, mainly because it ends with a preposition. Prepositions need objects, meaning they can’t end a sentence.
So you could revise it like this: it was obscured by the veil of harp strings behind which she perched.
Other than that, it’s fantastic.

I’m not as enthusiastic as Ana…I enjoyed it, except for the lack of enthusiasm at the end. I guess I expected more passion from a man who started the standing ovation. He seemed to give up to easy.

@ Krulltar: Hey, I had limited space to work with! Gimme a break! I’d have added more, but I’ll think about adding more “passion” as you say.

It was only a comment on making the story better from my perspective of reading it. It was not a knock at your writing, which is outstanding. I’ve completely enjoyed all of your ficlets that I’ve read.

Don’t worry, it’s all good… I welcome constructive critisism; I just felt like giving you a hard time. ^- I also thank you for the comment about this and my other writings.
