Thanks for the kind words and positive insight.

Andrew: I was also paying tribute to those “Twilight Zone” episodes dealing with lonely trumpets in the night and a certain archangel Servant of the Lord.

Thanks again!

I love this one – puts me in mind of Bradbury’s classic The Sound Of Thunder. I really liked the letter transition in the middle – great effect.

That’s an awesome story, Rivka… really powerful building of information, and I love stories that mix the mythical with the mundane.

If I had the tiniest niggle, I’d say that the descriptions of the family are a tiny bit heavy, and though I think the super’s observations at the end are potent and important to the story, I’d have preferred them internal and oblique too, but then, that’s myproblem, innit?
