It holds up extremely well, and in my opinion, Hush and The Body are two of the best hours of TV period.

Interesting to think of it as the inspiration for later heroines. I enjoyed your story in the anthology as I did all of them! I love how your character Alais went in her own direction! Sometimes these character have their own agenda.

Josh Whedon was a genius at taking an intense scene and throwing in some quirky/funny dialogue.<br />I think this anthology is going to be very popular with readers. I like that your heroine intends to do something unexpected with the sword. Will she really sell it or will this be the turning point in her Sarah J.
