I still don't know what to think about the "zombie kangaroos stole my son" business. It resonated way too closely to what actually happened with Lindy and Michael Chamberlain, right down to the media (being Mahir) treating what they had to say as being hysterical or just downright delusional that anyone would believe it. Was I the only one who left the story squirming at Mahir's thoughts in relation to that? Were we meant to think that about Mahir?
It was unfortunate because I was really enjoying the novella until then, and the fact that the Chamberlains' story is added just to give the story a bit of colour made me squirm a bit.
