Thanks, everyone, for the positive feedback. I know this is far different from the usual fare, but I felt it was a story that needed to be told. Studies have reported that 1 of 5 women will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes. Certainly, with the depiction of the patriarchal nature of New Kryptonian society and their treatment of women, it is all to easy to believe that a story like this could have occurred during their subjugation of Smallville.
As I have said in the past, I am 1 of 5. While the narrator's story is not my own story (in particular, I never had to confront the choice she has to make), I am happy to hear your feedback that it felt powerful and authentic and am proud to have successfully given voice to this subject.
