Great piece, love the writing style and thought the emotion was strong. My only criticism - I would love to read more.

This is a beautiful, intriguing read. As every science fiction aficionado will attest, the story has to be believable in the outer world reality. And M.Pax succeeds in this, I hope to read her novelette Semper Audicia soon.

I'm not really sure what to make of Small Graces, it certainly painted a beautiful landscape and you can not help but resonate with Grace's epiphany. Perhaps that was enough after all this is just a nibble of what Mary has to offer so perhaps the fault is mine:)

This story was a very fun read, with a totally surprise ending. I’m not giving it away. You can really feel the character and feel for her also. This little piece of flash fiction did just what it is supposed to do. Thanks M. Pax!

I read Small Graces last nightand enjoyed it very much. It is a well written story with an interesting concept. I found it to be great fiction in a bite size serving. Yes, it does leave you wanting more, but isn't that what flash fiction is for: an appetizer leading to the main course? I'm now looking forward to her longer works.

This was a great piece of flash fiction. I like the inventiveness of the metal exoskeleton. I like guessing what's next, if there's a twist. Ultimately, it's a glance into a person's life under pressure, and the sci-fi elements are on point.

A nicely written Flash Fiction Science Fiction Tale. Reminds me of James Tiptree Jr's (Alice Sheldon) "Love is the plan the plan is death".
