I really enjoyed this story and your reading of it, Kate. I was previously unfamiliar with Eric Brown, but now I'm going to have to go out and get more of his work!

Kate, you were not the only one that had tears in their eyes at the end of that one! The ending took me completely by surprise. I love a story that does that. Wonderful read, Kate!

Wow! Moving, scary and telling! Kate you made this very strong story all the stronger with your reading. (Wiping the tears from my face)

The pronunciation of "chitin" at 30:35 is incorrect. It should be KI-tin. An unusual word, but not too infrequent in science fiction.
