Excellent story. I will be reading more of your stories. Thanks for your time and imagination.
Personally I would give the ending a slight hint of sadistic pleasure in heinlein's face, suggesting that perhaps he will still kill her after all, that perhaps his will, will win out in the end.
My favorite out of all your stories! I hope we get to see these alien coils again in a future story!
This is my favorite of all your works!
I hope you continue writing more from this storyline.
This is a masterpiece!
Creating a creature like this and the way you describe the action is just marvellous.
Please go on writing stories of that kind!!
Different from your usual stories where the protagonists meet a fatal end. (Not that I have anything against such stories, I enjoy them too)
I like this ending of "transformation" just as well. I hope you write more of these, perhaps alternating between "fatal" and "transformed" fate for your characters.
I quite enjoyed that, the writing was tight and the ending, though predictable, was well done.
I liked your choice of names for the characters too, I take they were a bit of a homage?
