I'm sitting here giggling!

Thank you! (And may I never have to beta anything like this... the run-ons, they pain me....)

what a cool idea! I really liked the way you captured both the child and teacher voices. The picture of Atlantis as it was is particularly vivid - great idea, great execution.

I like the mental image of the Ancients, trying to do all their grand, floaty Ancient things, with little Ancient kids being sent off to school (because school doesn't stop, not even for the end of the world!). Thanks for reading!

I love this so much, and it's very reminiscent of Zenna Henderson, who I also adore.

Yay! for finding another Zenna Henderson fan! I was thinking along the lines of As Simple As That (apocalypse, with essay written on broken blackboard). Thanks for reading!

Nice! Zenna Henderson is great!

[busaikko]

Thank you! I do love Zenna Henderson!

*raises hand* Another Zenna Henderson fan, here! Neat little piece of fic!

[busaikko]

Good heavens! There are a lot of Zenna Henderson fans! (Her People had it lucky: at least they didn't arrive at the end of an ice age....) Thanks for reading!
