    About this ebook

    To any tourist in Rome, Old Maria may seem to be an eccentric soul who feeds stray cats and thinks she can talk with them. Things are rarely as they seem. In fact, she can. A dying cardinal has given Maria a final, urgent wish. His time is running short. On the surface, it seems impossible to grant.

    Things are rarely as they seem. Especially with Maria and her cats at work. And for those who truly love, the impossible is only an illusion.

    What you think you see, may well be something quite different.

      Unique Long Narrative Poem!I liked this long narrative poem. It was a unique read, and I loved the way the prose put together a story that flowed. "Most humans see just what they can, and have no concept of the span, of much their senses can't reveal, they know not of what's truly real." It takes a real talent to tell a story in prose, and have it make sense. This story was very good. I truly liked it.
