This was the first time I ever read that story. It was good; a nice little introspective piece. Definitely slower paced, as was said, but not entirely devoid of interaction--for me, right now, it struck a good balance, although I can see one having to be in the mood for it.

What I like is that the story isn't just entirely in the character's head: the setting changes, words are exchanged, and things happen. For introspective pieces, it's often all too easy to have nothing but a series of thoughts presented in a near-vacuum. This one's slow, but relaxingly so, and I like how it fleshes out Ms. Hart's character. smile
