Wow!!!
I love trolls, so I'm already biased in this story's favor. I'm even more biased toward stories that convey humor as well as tragedy. This is so clever, so logical, so believable, in spite of being set in fantasy world, I am simply in awe. The ending is super-high-impact, in every way. Oh, and that title - the opposite of crocodile tears - is perfect. You broke my heart today, Gmuxx, but I want more of little Ditid and Zulkaz!
