The problem with not reading fic for awhile is when I go back to doing so, everyone has already reviewed, saying anything I might have thought to say (and saying it better than I would have). *sigh* Well, I've heard that any feedback is good, so I'll just repeat what the others said... I liked the imagery and the background you set up for Sawyer. What I liked most of all was the way you tied in the background to the current situation. Nice.
