What a delight to read, Mark is so funny, and it's even funnier knowing he isn't meaning to be. Beloved Eliot, what did he do?! Treason?! And no lover?????? So many questions!! I missed reading your work. I think it's time for another In Other Lands reread ❤️

MY FEELINGS!!! I am desperate to know what happens next (and SO curious to know what kind of treason Elliot did that apparently was bad enough to get him EXILED and forced to become a teacher).
Such an intriguing start! But I will be most upset if this short story doesn’t have a happy ending. 😭 But while I wait to see, I’m laughing out loud and loving seeing grownup Elliot.
OMG!? Exiled? Treason? "No"!? I need the second part right now and I need a happy ending PLEASE!
Loved this first part! Mark is really fun to read and I love the glimpses to this other culture that was only mentioned in passing during In Other Lands. It was great seeing Elliot again being both the same and grown-up.
Algo, I finished re-reading In Other Lands (my favorite book ever) a couple of days ago just to read these short stories with it fresh i my mind and I loved to see the little refrences to the book like when Elliot says to prefer try to reason with the troll and to learn their language if you can't speak it.
WHAT DOES HE MEAN NO 😭
Oh I AM distraught
