    I felt this concept was the one thing missing from this series so far. After all the stories you’ve done so far, I began to wonder, what would happen if the government found out about one of these people?
    Glad to have the answer to that question.

    Though you’ve done a few immortals with a penchant for violence, I am rather curious to see an immortal professional criminal of some kind (Life Sentence had more of an amateur criminal). Any possibility of that sometime?

    Keep up the great stories!

    David, thanks for the kind words. I have a few thoughts along that line. 🙂

    I completely agree with David. It was nice to see a spin on this that allowed the mortals to be well aware of the amarant’s condition. Great characters, here, too. I thought this piece was real solid. Nice work.

    Really enjoyed this one, a well-rounded tale with a happy conclusion and an accessible believability. Beautifully narrated.

    Great story. And I’m not familiar w/ the Amarant so I can tell you it stands alone beautifully. (And I look forward to listening to the series…I assume it’s in the archives?)
