Well, it was good: I didn't see any obvious typos, glaring grammatical errors or such; the story flowed smoothly and the tone was, while somewhat apathetic, quite appropriate for the story. I like how you left it sort of open-ended, and people will want more to the story than just this; however, I think it's good enough without a sequel. Very well-thought-out work.

A few more pinpricks of light disappeared from the sky as I peered upward.

How much longer until the star-killer came to Earth?

How long before the sky was empty?

That was my favorite part !

Wow! I read this a few days ago but it's still in my head and I really want to see the next chapter. Is this going to be a chapter piece or a one off? Pleaseeee write something else

Thanks everybody, lol. At the moment, I don't think I'm writing any more of this... Maybe it'll pop up in a novel someday, but at the moment I'm happy with where I've ended it and I've got more than enough to work on. Still, thanks for all your interest, everybody. ^^ I think this is one of my favorite short stories that I've written.

Well first off I loved how it was in first person. Secondly it was completely smooth, which i loved. I just finished reading another sci-fi on YWS and it went so quickly that I had a hard time reading it but this is amazing. I absolutely loved it. Not to fast, enough time to establish the character and who she was. I was wee but confused about the "grand-daughter" thing so I had to re-read it. It made it sound like the girl was talking about someone else and not herself. That's the only thing i would change. Other than that, well done.
