Once again you give us a glimpse into a strange world with order that we will never understand and yet you make us fall for the story and sympathize with the character. Although I like your other ones more, this is pretty well done it just doesn’t seem as unique and original as the other ones I’ve read.

I agree that this was not unique or original but sometimes a good way to challenge yourself as a writer is to take an idea and make it your own, the best you can. I feel that this is probably one of the best escapes/on the run stories I’ve ever done.

Personally, I love to take an idea and make it my own. Most writers “borrow” from one another quite a bit. For instance: I would dare to say that ‘hope’ was not the reason for Sheri’s altered course…

Ah! That tantalising “almost”, does she make it? Will even that keep her safe? I love how quickly you build up the world around the escape, the beacon, the howls. They all have a meaning the reader can see but not fully understand.
