I rather enjoyed how Kate created Beth as an individual, despite her brief existences. But, more important, her voice and telling added a profound believability to Meeker's transformation. Beautifully done.

I was drawn-in from the first paragraph and remained engrossed right to the very end.
Mr Kressal, what a story.
As always, Kate’s narration brought the story to life. Perfectly executed.
Hats-off to you both!

Kate Baker's narration humanized this chillingly anti-human future.
