Rees's story again--and this time it feels much more complete. As usual, comments are welcome as I am planning to put this in the second anthology. This current draft runs at about 12.5k words, which is a little over our desired limit so of course I would consider judicious cuts.

I would have preferred a less abrubt entry to the story, but this is pretty subjective of course.

Not been keeping tabs on this, so apologies.

I feel like there's more I'd want to know and learn, but consider it's current length you still did a pretty good job at what you did deliver within the content provided!

This was a really interesting read. Love the direction it took, really cute in a lot of parts.

I'm not so good at visualizing a lot of the environment descriptions, but the characters and dialogue started making me envy Rees' position a bit lol.
