I just read Mr. Pell and look forward to reviewing it on my next Short Story Reviews post. For now I’ll say I was hesitant about this story at first as I judged its premise based on the first few paragraphs, but it won me over with powerful storytelling. I was almost brought to tears by the characters and their tragic world. Loved it.

Wow, thank you, Neal! It is very gratifying to hear that the story moved you, and I appreciate you sticking it out through a conceit you found iffy.
