Review:
This story is told through a series of found objects. The narrator seems to be a collector of stories and the subject is at the end of life telling the stories of her life. It helps that these stories, literally, define a kingdom. I did not find the stories themselves particularly compelling. I did, however, really enjoy the ending.
