Hi Chaya.
As Eric said.
Good story anyway.
Silvia.

This is an excellent story, but it ended so abruptly.  Considering how it ended it should be continued as she now has to live in the modern world.

Some of the questions to answer include:

1. What happened to her in the past after she "leaped" back to the present.

2. How did the 1958 friends cope?

3. How does she deal with the present?

4. Who is she inside her head?

lovely story. You could always do a sequal with Richard back in his own time in Susan body.

Nice story, Thanks for sharing with us.

so lovely, what a happy story.
thank you Chaya, you have made my day.

No doubt about it, Eric is right on target, this is a fantasy. Not only that, it's such an easily accessible fantasy for the reader to insert himself into. And the clothes descriptions go much farther even in enticing us to give in to this dream and try to participate.

One clothes item didn't fit, though, and that was the 6-inch heels. I'm not sure they had even been developed by 1958, and I'd really have to disagree that they do more for madam's legs than four inches -- and the lovely lady's foot is not so strained in appearance.

And a beautiful twist at the very end!

Nicely done.  Wasn't expecting the ending.  (The final sentence raises more questions than it answers, but that's not the thrust of this story, more fantasy than SF despite the time travel element.  I'm not objecting, but it did leave me wondering.)

Also, it could have been more clear why the experimenters were cutting things so close with their original host -- showing up three minutes late when you're time-traveling seems to be a non seqitur, though to the author's credit that didn't occur to me until I thought back on it afterward.

Good story, anyway.

Eric
