This is a wonderful story of redemption. You use the science fiction elements credibly. Your character development is also excellent. Good writing.
There are some minor errors (spelling). The story would really shine if these were corrected. Have you read and commented on the work of at least two other writers this week? (See The Ink Well community rules on our home page.) This helps our community thrive, and also makes you eligible to be chosen for a spotlight in our weekly highlights magazine. Thank you!
