I am somewhat reminded of Margaret Atwood's "Oryx and Crake" by it, but not at all in a derivative sense. Rather, I think both you and Atwood address different facets of the same difficult issue Beautiful work. This story is simply terrifying, and I enjoyed it very much.

I've enjoyed Ruth's works in collaboration with Jay Lake as well as solo, and it's great to read her on Futurismic. Three instances of "it's" instead of "its" are my only gripes ;) They're: "as it winged it’s way" "here a hyaenodon with it’s vicious teeth" "but then it’s prehensile feet grew stiff" And poker casino's a bit of a downer. Hopefully you can install a spamblocker of some sort to get rid of them? Lovely story.

I just finished reading your story. Excellent work! Great ending, too! I have also read your story for Asimov's, Looking Through Lace, which I also enjoyed greatly. I myself have attempt$ 6write science fiction and fantasy, having been a lifelong reader of both. The results of my endeavors, however, were nothing spectacular. Keep up the great work! Greetings.
