Glad to know that =D, and at first I thought it was long but, only when remembering it was posted on the context of a contest (nice, a thong twister..), but when finished reading I wanted more, to know more about Petra and Mike, to "see" what happened in Earth, if Tak would ever have the opportunity and ability to bear children (since her specie were engineered maybe that wouldn't be possible for some reason), maybe with Joey xD (that would be a freakin' cool plot twist)..<p/>Yeah it definitely wasn't that long and I really liked it, the way it is written is very easy to read and allowed to visualize most of the scenes (although there were a couple of details that I personally would love to have with even more detail, it is still very cool to allow imagination to take care and fill the details in)..<p/>This story almost gave me the will to write again but (long story short), I've burned 3 books written when I was between 15 an 17 Years old, had them reviewed by a professional ex journalist from one of the main channels here in Portugal and she loved all of them but, they were too personal and for some stupid (maybe ingenuity for being too young) reason I freaked out and after that found and lost my muse (even have had dreams about her 4/5 Years before meting her), I decided to continue drawing and painting but even those are sometimes hard to even start..<p/>(it doesn't matter now, what I want You to take from this is that, You have a gift, don't be a dick as I was and let it go to waste, the world needs more creative people, so the rest of us don't allow something that is depicted in Your story, our own extinction..)<p/>Thank You very much, wish You all the best ^^)
