		<description>Hmmm...it&#039;s hard to be objective about this story as I know what&#039;s it&#039;s really about (and it&#039;s usually my trick to write about myself in the guise of writing a story)...but still, it&#039;s well written and engaging and Susan&#039;s sense of frustration is palpable. It&#039;s also made me want to go and watch Quatermass and the Pit again, because I haven;t seen it since I was a kid...</description>

		<description>Despite there being a much larger, off-screen story, the sense of frustration and compromise here is very strong. I want to know more, both before and after, and maybe to see more of Becky.</description>

		<description>Not sure how I feel about this, Rivka...

It creates an interesting world, and I was intrigued throughout - though there&#039;s a level where I don&#039;t think I&#039;m as sympathetic to the activist mentality as one may need to be to feel the conflict here.

There&#039;s something darker going on - a bigger world outside the straightforward conversation, that seems to scratch at us - suggestions that we may be in a slightly amended future where these people have been prime-movers, and that weird interlude with the men in suits.

But unlike your previous pieces, there are moments of what reads like exposition - difficult to avoid, but I haven&#039;t seen it in your writing before, so it took me out of the piece a little.

Still a great piece of writing, but not my favourite Rivka.</description>
