The Secret of The Minotaur by

I have it on very good authority that, contrary to popular opinion, Minotaurs aren’t bad, they’re just misunderstood.

    It has a very eerie and captivating feel to it!

  • Hadn’t ever thought of it as “eerie” but, now that you mention it, I can see that. Thanks for the kind feedback, Kayleigh!

    Thanks, Dayonda! I never go to the A&P page and all of a sudden this morning, completely by (fortuitous) accident, I ended up there and, lemmie tell ya’, you could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw “Minotaur.” Clearly, The Age of Miracles has not passed, after all..

    And, yes indeed – poor, poor Minotaurs.
