Thanks =) I really wanted to use Dylan Thomas so was hoping it'd work!

I really like this. I think you have actually captured the tone of Under Milk Wood, while keeping within The X-Files universe. Impressive.

Wow. Thank you! That's about the highest praise I could hope for! =D

You're a fine writer. I am happy to see you writing a bit in the X-Files fandom.

There are so many great writers doing XF stuff that means a lot. Thanks. I'm getting more inspired to write now that I'm a part of these communities so there'll be more up, definitely.

Thanks =) I was inspired by Dylan Thomas who was an incredible poet - if you get the chance to read anything by him you should.
