Hi Benjamin,
Thanks for submitting to Pindeldyboz, but I'm going to pass on this
story. It's an intriguing scene, but it feels a little rushed,
particularly once the narrator starts trying to help the baby. For
example, I'm not clear why the baby is a "half-formed lopsided thing"
-- is this just from its injuries or is there something else wrong
with it? I'd also like a bit more clarification about the experience
the narrator and Jamie have -- are they just in training as
paramedics, or have they been in the field before? I think the scene
reads a bit differently if it's their first field experience than if
they are vacationing EMTs.
Thanks,
Whitney Steen

Not as enthusiastic as the last two. This is the story I submitted.
First rejection letter.
Second rejection letter.
Welp - I got some reading to do. Another hundred pages, and then I still haven't done research for either the Joyce or the James papers.

WTF was up with that deletion? I wish they'd given me a warning so I could have fixed it - took me an hour to put that post together, and they deleted the only copy.

So I am not actually some random stalker, although maybe that would have been more interesting.
