It was an interesting read. You worked well with the hook. Kept me going till the end and there are but few short stories that I do...(attention disorder)!;)

Just one question. Does the child grow up to an adult age before being administered with the Therapy or is she to remain a child forever?

I would think after sometime the child would desire to grow up. Somewhat like the child-woman vampiress who was stuck in her child body in Anne Rice`s An Interview With A Vampire. She ended up loathing the vampire who took her at that young age. Never to know what it was like to be a woman, in a woman`s body...

Hmm, I am just curious as to how Therapy would work:)

Great story. Chilling.

Also liked your earlier story, Azadi very much.
