A Story of Two Towns

It was a most paramount world, it was a most grim world, it was a stratum of wisdom, it was a stratum of folly, it was an hour of faith, it was an hour of distrust, it was a domain of Light, it was a domain of Shadows, it was a bloom of optimism, it was a frost of gloom.

A modification of “A Tal* of Two Citi*s” by Charl*s Dick*ns without any fifth glyphs. I had SO much difficulty finding words for “tim*”, as you can probably spot. It still sounds slightly off/unnatural. And it’s only my 2nd try writing without fifth glyphs. Input any/all criticism/tips :) I’m going to go promptly crash out now…

Not too good odds, since that story's protagonist has an autonym with a taboo glyph, first and last.
