Alone in a Strange World (Short Story) - 7/10/2010 4:37:55 AM
Thanks for this story Jennifer. I enjoyed immersing myself in this highly detailed and well imagined world. The writing style reminds me a bit of Mary Brown (ie. The unlikely ones) It’s a wonderful blend of concise, practical description with lyrical, almost mythic, story telling.
My favourite parts of the story are the description of the same events from the viewpoints of Christa, and the different native cultures. The alternation of viewpoints adds a real poignancy to the story. These characters may now be in the same universe but they still live in different worlds.
