It is a clever little story which answer the questions about the backstory of Mary and the Star Poet.
Star Poet - Lovely and fitting for Ms. Sarah Jane Smith.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review, and great to hear from you, Riana. I look forward to the conclusion to Haunted when it comes.
I like the way it goes from the cosmic to the specific, like one of those shots where you do the long perspective from space down to earth.
Niiice, a connective story to explain the reuse of the alien lifeform. ^-^ awesome.
Author's Response: Well, you have to admit, they are very similar.
Very nice. I got a pleasant surprise with your ending - thanks
I had no idea where you were taking this and the end was a pleasant surprise! (I won't spoil it here) I do wonder how the Earth will fair if ever there is alien incursion... will humanity draw together? Thanks for a fun read.
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it. It was a challenge to write, and the ending seems to have caught a few people on the back foot.
