It’s always good to see people tackling social issues that are happening in the here and now, particularly when their handled with such poetic style, emotion and trademark heartstring-tugging that is seen here…
You’ve translated sensitive subject matter into a literary gem here – very good work indeed – MH :)
Your second paragraph is incredible, I don’t think that could ever be reproduced. The emotion in the story is very powerful, you even made a robot well up a little.
This is a really moving piece. Wonderfully done, on a very delicate, and controversial, issue, but that can be related to across all times. This could have been set after the world wars, or an even earlier one. This, I think, will stay with me for a while.
