This was good. Unusual! (Okay, so what if a parrot is a gimmick - it worked, didn't it?) Situation comedy, mystery, tragedy, solace.

This story won (tied) the 2000 Cascade Times Awards in the "it could have been an episode" category.

The mystery in this was nicely mysterious. The very end was a bit short, though - I mean, the wrap-up happens in all of two paragraphs. Oh well. Now, perhaps this is because the story is supposed to be continued in something called "Little Boy Lost", but if so, I don't think it's been written yet. But overall, this was pretty good. (I liked the joke about the Cigarette Smoking Man...)

This story was nominated in the 2000 Cascade Times Awards in the Angst category.
