Holy Hel, Tess, but this is glorious. I want to hold it and pet it and call it George.

In fact, I believe I'll have to print this one out, too. I'm going to end up making my own weird fan-girl chapbook of Tessa Gratton short stories, since this will be the third one I've printed (the others were the one about the woman weaving/the mirror over the fireplace and the one called "Puddles".

I am so glad. So so glad.

Also, I see what you did there with Hel. ;)

It would've felt just WRONG to use the traditional spelling, given your story.

[tessagratton]

Thanks! I sure will if I can, someday.

Basically, this is awesome. And I also love your Norse America.

But all these things you knew already, and I don't want your head to blow up or anything, because that would be messy, and no one likes clearing up brains.

[tessagratton]

Thank you! It's a super fun place to play.

I don't want my head to blow up, either. Please.

It's from this trip to Bristol.

Seriously, I am with everyone else this should be on the short list for novel expansion. I loved the girl character's voice, it sounded somewhat familiar to me.

[tessagratton]

Heh. Hehehehhehehe.

[tessagratton]

Thank you! I hope I have, bc it's so much fun I'll probably never stop.

I'd like an overwrought happy ending, too. But no babies for 10 years. Post degree.

Five is a nice round number. Or something like that.
