I like this format. I felt a bit like the girl being forced out of the car at the end, not sure if I really understood what was being said. Perhaps the desire to know more in the end is a good thing.
It's been days since I first listened to this piece and I'm still thinking about it. I love authors who trust their reader to put the rest of the story together.
I loved the way the author provided just the right ingredients so that my imagination could whip up a feast for itself. I'm still savoring it. Great work!

Mini-Hitchcock
This was great! Like a Hitchcock plot in miniature -- that is, miniature in size, but definitely not in impact. I loved this!

Great ending
Very subtle way of getting the truth across without saying it.

Brava!
Refreshingly spare and intriguing. Lots of to think about here. I suspect this young girl and her invisible charge will haunt me.

Loved it
I really enjoyed the story, and appreciated the clever way it ended. This would be a pleasant way to learn about new authors whose work I might like.

The best stuff on publicradio!
I think that our friends have already covered it here, but this is great audio. Finally a reason to listen to public radio! Great job, Amy!

Wonderfully constructed
