Wow. I really enjoy the way that you explored her motivations, painting a picture of a woman pushed beyond her limits by the cumulative stresses and indignities in her life. I had attempted to write a similarly unhinged giantess who felt like the best way for her to rebalance her unfair and unjust life was to abuse someone tiny. However the very well rounded, if tragically flawed, woman that you're portraying here puts my character to shame. Really look forward to seeing how her fiancé reacts to her actions and future plans.

FYI, you referred to Ryan as Jake about four fifths of the way down.

Author's Response: Dammit, I literally forgot his name every time I had to refer to him. In my first draft I think he ended up with four different names. I'll fix that and tear the limbs off my editing assistant. Far more than that, though, thank you for the kind and insightful words about Laurel herself. I'm sort of strangely attached to this character by now, even though she's quite different from anyone I know I feel like I understand her and share some of her emotional state from working with it for so long. There's a few more chapters to come. I hope you'll enjoy them at least as much as you seem to have enjoyed what I've done so far. ~K
