You posted this and got no feedback? I can't imagine why. It's got your usual terrific way with description--you absolutely excel at creating the scene physically and the mood, and then you go on to a completely authentic portrayal of a 15 year old girl's naivete. The ending is absolutely chilling. Even as a lesser focus of the story, the description of the relationship between Spike and Buffy from Dawn's perspective is bang on. You're quite right to re-post. This story should never have been overlooked. Great stuff. Always love your writing ;-)
