Personally I feel encouraged by Sam's antipathy to Pippa's plastic surgery - it makes me feel, yes, we're OK as we are and those who love us will accept/cherish us as such! A brilliant story!

You make a lie out of the adage that a picture's worth a thousand words. A picture could never convey all that you have conveyed here.

You paint vivid pictures with your words. Thankyou for the insight into the thoughts and emotions of these characters. The characters are amazingly well rounded and full considering it was such a short piece of writing. It really makes you feel for Sam and understand what he is going through. I was drawn into this slightly disturbing but realistic world. Scarily real. You paint vivid pictures with your words. Thankyou for the insight into the thoughts and emotions of these characters.
