I love this! I really, really love this, the way it spins out from something ordinary to something creepy and heart-rending. The pace of the words really matches throughout, and I love Rodney's babbling, his innate self even as he's changing, and the hopeful, stubborn peace that comes at the end.

A great hold-your-breath story and a fabulous piece of art!

The way it continued was so awesome and so much better than I could have thought, and the art is absolutely beautiful. Thanks, guys, I'm so pleased to have been a part of this. :)

Oooh, thrilling and fascinating! I wondered where the story was going to go. elli, the end collage is completely gorgeous.

Oh wow. The pace of this is wonderful, and I love how it starts sounding routine and innocuous, only to twist its way to something taut and terrifying. The imagery is so vivid and I love the hard hope at the end.

The artwork matches this so well - it's great to see how it grew with the story, and the final collage looks stunning.
