Posted on Sat, 30 Nov 2013

Little Ally’s head felt fuzzy… I’d keep the prefix ‘little’ for dialogue. When the narrator is referring to her as little Ally it gets a bit sickly. It’s like in the soaps when the baby’s always Baby so and so. ‘Who’s having Baby Jack tonight?’...

Of course the other chap had to be vaporised, but you've got to make sacrifices.... cute! I like this. 

 

And whenever he is asked if he has any regrets, he will say, "It's a bit draughty on the moon."...Nice.
