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.
