Delightful, evocative story with superb blend of science and emotion.
Wow what a great story I've listened to it twice now and see me going back to it again in the future. This is the first Podcast I've downloaded from Clarkesworld but it won't be the last. Kate, you did a great job on the narration and I did not notice the "S" problem at all not even the second time round. I'm now going to download Gwendolyn's March 2011 story.
wow wow and wow again. i am humbled by the skill of plot, character, and reader engagement. the smooth integration of science and alien characters as well as physiology is superb. as an unpublished author, this story gives me something to aspire to. thank you and thank you again.
