An absolutely brilliant story. By turns moving and amusing… Was amazed to discover this was a debut published story. It seems to polished, the voice so sure and yet ambiguous. Made me feel by turns jealous of the writing prowess, but at the same time very happy that there is writing like this for those good people who need it.

She told me so without reserve. “It’s safe for me to tell you,” she said. “I can sense you’re not a villain. Besides, it would be unfair to keep it from you. It won’t be easy, you know, being involved with a superhero girl.” [...]

Poignant, beautiful, darkly funny, and best of all, you didn’t cop out with a morose ending.
Just great.

You are one to watch, I suspect.
