No comments - I hope it’s because everyone was as completely transported when reading this as I was. I’m reeling. Thank you!

I’ve always loved your thoughts on cats and this one was so funny! I also took a screenshot of a paragraph about drinking, it reminded me somehow of the scene in Spares where Jack is in a bar - it’s been a while since I read it (I studied your book for my English Higher!). Anyway, I loved it, I don’t think my cat would look out for me that way...

I am going to stick my neck out here and say that is the best of your short stories... unless there is one lurking that I haven't caught and wrestled yet. It has vibes of 'Moon' (film by Duncan Jones with Sam Rockwell) and 'Silent Running'

You're right - there is a SILENT RUNNING vibe... and so glad you liked it!
