Nice snippet of what might have happened to Joe after he was captured, I always hope that he didn't get destroyed.

I liked this story.

This is soo sad! :( I'm really interested in A.I. but I've never seen the movie but I know what goes on in it, well, most of it anyway.

Okay, now that I've read this sequel, I've understood that it WOULD be better if you didn't try to change the ending. It's very good, too. For some time I forgot that I'd already watched and seen the ending of A.I. and was hoping along with Henry and Monica and Martin and Joe that David would be found!
But then I remembered, 'Yeah, he got trapped in the ice for about 20 years and then spent one happy day with Monica and died beside her'.
Aughh! But at least, I can imagine Henry and Martin patching things up with him once he and Monica have gone to heaven.
It only occured to me now, but when Monica came back to life I wonder whether Henry and Martin didn't stop and say, "Wait a minute, where'd Mom go?"
LOL, I'm feeling really silly.

COOl!

I am new to the fanfic world, at least having to do with A.I. I was enchanted by it after viewing it on HBO a weekend ago. This story is loosly reminicent of the book "The Year Without Micheal", on which it potrays a family's struggle on how they managed to continue with their lives after a son goes missing.

That was wonderful, Matrix Refugee. I admit that I read the second part before the first part, but that didn't make it anymore less special.
You've gotten the voices of the characters down so well. I wish I had that ability with some characters. There aren't any catch phrases or words that go with these particular characters, but you wrote them as they are, without much effort it seems.
I like the fact you didn't try to rewrite the ending, but simply show what Monica and Henry were going through after Monica abandoned David in the woods.
Again, a wonderful story. Thank you for writing it.

I knew Henry wasn't such a jerk as he came across to be, the POV of this piece is great.
