That's so romantic and beautiful and cruel.  Loved it.

What a awesome way to start your new year in fiction - this is a splendid work - like all your others.  Congratulations and great big "thank you" for this beautiful, poetic and powerful work to read -

Ditto on the comments about Buffy as a very intelligent and introspective -  she is as intelligent as your piece -

A nice bit of introspection regarding Buffy.  I particularly liked the reference to Romantic poets.  On another note, I do not think those plastic stars are childish.  Some of us adults have them.

 This is very good indeed.  I love your take on Buffy, making her far more intelligent and sensible than most writers do.  Claps hands and offers bouquet.

Woa - that was amazing.  So beautiful in imagery and language.  Bravo.

What a beautiful short story.
