Yeah. I wrote the poetry.

This was really cool - I liked the poetry concept.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

“But I’m not her,” she cut him off, expression turning serious. “So stop thinking I might be. I’m me, so don’t be a freak.”

“What’s wrong with you?” she asked.

I can totally see Allison thinking John is some kind of freak. And I can imagine him giving her odd looks and accidentally calling her Cameron. I never would've read a John and Allison piece if it wasn't by you because I have too much John loathing. But I enjoyed that.

Hee Hee. Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I was trying to avoid some of the stereotypes already springing up and to do my own thing.

Really, I was just trying to build a story I could put the poetry/prayers into. I came up with those first and I was like 'well, what do I do with this?'

This was very impressive. Any more to come?

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

I'll post things as I think of them. No real rhyme or reason for when the mood hits me.

Nice work. This is not what I expected Allison to be like but I also like her more than I expected so...

I really like the poetry. In history, extreme circumstances tended to produce art- J-Day should be another Renaissance.

One nitpick- the sentence in which John thinks of a child saying the prayer, the pronoun should remain singular. Sorry, thats the sometimes English grammar teacher rearing her ugly head.

Thanks for writing!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I wanted it to seem like there's more to the world than just rubble and terminators. Like how they've mentioned new slang in the series, I imagine other things would creep up.

Hee. Oops on the pronoun.
