A rather heartwarming little piece, this one, and I'd like to think that Mary Shelly would too approve. I've read several of you other works, and I must say that you're one of the most truly gifted writers I've ever met. I'm especially fond of your works with the first-person perspective: your characters grumble, complain, imply, and interrupt themselves--in other words, they sound real. Your style is unique and refreshing, and I'm truly eager to see what you come up with next!
