I am feeling cruddy-Wait. I *was* feeling cruddy, and I *was* going to go to bed, but then I saw THIS. By YOU!

I know the period well, and your research is impeccable, and for that I thank you (very, very much).

In general, this is a superbly written piece, refreshingly original, and well thought out. Also: my mind 'sees' stories in vivid color, but you got the sepia tones of the period happening for me.

In short, brilliant.

Thank you!

Wow, thank you so much, this is incredibly flattering. I'm thrilled that I could make your day a bit better. Like I said above, I had a great time researching this, so I'm glad it made the reading experience better for you. Thanks for reading, I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

As always a wonderful read.

I felt the parallel of Newton's distant observant resonated with us as the reader with our limited invitation into these lives and even as they loved each other I felt a parallel with Newton for them in regards to each other's lives as well.

End of the world indeed.

I found it endearing that Miranda just happen to have a pair of Pyjamas in her bag.

Thanks! I'm glad Newton didn't feel totally random. He was totally random, but by the end, I thought he kind of worked, so I'm glad that came through.

I didn't even really think of it as Miranda planning to run into Andy, I just figured, it's Miranda, she wants options. But subconsciously she wants Andy.

Thanks for reading!

I really love what you did with the setting of this story. I loved the feeling of Apocalyptic Prague and the short scene in which you captured a beautiful relationship. Great writing.

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun building the world of Prague in 1919, so I'm glad that came across. Thank you for reading!

This was soooo wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. You created a whole world with many secrets I wish I knew the answers to. And I am always a sucker for Andy with short hair. :D Thanks so much for this alluring romance - it's great to see you back!

Thanks! I got halfway through writing Andy with short hair and thought, oh that's hot.

Out of curiosity - did not knowing the answers to the secrets you mentioned hinder your enjoyment of the piece? Did you feel like you wanted those answers?

Thanks for reading, I'm glad you liked it!

I would love to have answers--this leaves me wanting more. I really enjoy period pieces around these two, and there just aren't too many of them. This one is evocative, and it's meticulously researched, and by the way, awesome.

That said, it's lovely on its own... I can survive without answers if you aren't so inclined. :D

Thanks! I was just curious. Partially there are other stories in my head set in this world, so I've imagined other pieces that might answer some questions, partially I just like to be mysterious. ;)

intriguing little world, nice setting. I enjoyed this glimpse into their world...

Thanks, it was a fun world to build, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reading!
