Loved it!!!! OMG! Rarely am I so sucked in to a short story, but this is so well written that it reads like a much longer book. How could the author convey so much emotion in just 48 pages? Well done! 
 I loved Rho. He was such a strong character. Although so many horrible things had happened to him, I never felt sorry for him or pitied him. Does this make me an uncaring bitch? Maybe. But what I mean is that his strength of will and character made him rise above his circumstances. He was more to me than a man who had been tortured and raped. He hadn't lost himself. 
 I loved Miller. He seemed to know exactly where Rho was coming from and what Rho needed in his life. Miller and Rho, although enemies because of the war, were so alike. 
 I loved the ending and am torn as to whether I would like a sequel. A very large part of me is screaming for more. But, a tiny part of me is thinking that the ending was perfect just the way it was.
