Wow. From the title, I had no idea what this was going to be about, and I was pleasantly surprised. Unrequited love is always interesting, and I love the spin that you put on it. This could be a great start to a series, I hope you continue.

This is great— a really creative take on the contest. I, too, can see this being the start of a great sci-fi series— on Ficly, or in print!

Thanks for entering, nice work!

Amazing story that uniquely fits the challenge!

I don’t see any reason to repeat anything these fine people have said but you write well and I enjoy it.

Interesting scenario in an interesting world. I like it.

I would love to sequel this if I can come up with anything half as interesting.

Congrats, E.G., you are the winner of the Shut-in challenge! I felt that you interpreted the challenge in a creative way, while still fitting the criteria. Great work!

A nurse in love with a patient. Hm, is that allowed?

Good work.

This is great. I love the take on being shut-in.

What makes life worth living a few more years when you are a prisoner in a blank white room?… Love?

Excellent writing.

This was nominated for the ficly book.
