Chapter 18:

This was a great chapter with Kate and her reverse giga transformation. The realization that the micro humans were people like her and that her size could affect their world in the most simplest of ways, even to the point where it restricts her greatly, was very good. It was a little impractical but the giant screen that allowed Kate to see the people she’s been interacting with up close so that each one could be personalized was a great idea. It really helped drive Kate’s new perspective of the world home. The problem now is how she’s going to keep herself from cracking under the burden of what she knows. Interacting with the other caretakers is just going to be even harder.

Oh yeah, don’t kill Gary. He’s the mainstay micro human this story needs :p

Chapter 19:

Well who know who must have did you know what if Nicole is already destroying her zones. Amber and Nicole are completely ignorant to Kate’s real feelings and it’s kind of amusing. It’s like Kate is the true adult among ignorant children. I wish Kate could have saved the humans in the container she had. Like pretend she was going to play with them in private and then bring them into her zone. But I guess with the stress she was under from just being with them it didn’t cross her mind.

The zone destruction didn’t really do anything for me. I guess that was the point but even if it had more detail and was “sexy” I probably would have been more pissed off at Nicole anyway or maybe not. More like this is awesome, but fuck you Nicole. Eh, I guess it wasn’t the interaction I wanted but within the context of the story it made sense. It did make me think that even if Nicole found out the truth it would make her worse. She already likes to control and manipulate things. What’s better than controlling the lives of millions? 

And again don't kill Gary.

Author's Response: I don't need to read a recap of the chapters, but thanks nonetheless :> It's still good to see that at least somebody understands what I was aiming for.

If You figure out something really creative, like how the story is going to end or such - that would be interesting (of course don't put that in a review, feel free to contact - I will keep track of who guessed tight first :>)

As for the screen - at least she has seen them, at least they are no longer "micros" for her, even despite that she has to call them that in the presence of others. I thought it was simple yet powerful, especially how she could clearly see the amplified image in contrast with "the dots" below it.

As for Gary.. I don't know... he's annoying, seriously! What about some replacement perhaps?

What made You think she is decimating her zones? Erica planned all this in ch17 already - have I suggested somehow that they were Nicole's? As for saving - that's the real tragedy of her situation... and it happened so fast. Not to mention that the tinies could hear the others talking - trying to "get away" was the only thing I thought they would do, Kate didn't prepare any trenches or plateaus...

The POV wasn't meant to be "sexy" - how could anyone in their right mind even consider such atrocity appealing in any way. That's also why I wasn't planning to repeat it later. In Nicole's defence - keep in mind that she does not really know what she is doing. The manipulative part - who knows?

The problem with micro interaction is that... well, I agree it is really impractical. Any attempt to.. I don't even know what they could want to do with the people, but it would still end badly. As Kate already noticed, killing people is the only thing they are good at...

And I have no idea where this unhealthy fixation on Gary somehow not dying is coming from - I already wrote he has some time left, that's better than billions already! Not to mention why him - and not Crawford for instance.. he's a cutey. Or Amy.
