I thought it was fantastic. I thought your main character was dynamic and developed well, even in this short piece.

The plot was very creative; it touches on our more primal fears of secrets and conpriracies but with a horrifying twist dealing with knowledge, how we learn and our capacity for knowledge.

The only quibbly thing I noticed was that the beginning was a bit rushed. I think your character's unhappiness could have been fleshed out a bit more, but it doesn't take away from the story.

And I have to mention that my favourite line was, "It's only heroin for the nerdy." I thought that was brilliant.

Overall, a great story from a great author.
