Bad Machinery by John Allison for August 04, 2022

Are Ellen and Mum reunited?

I think there was a question a while back asking if the children of a selkie and a human are human or selkie. The real Ellen seems fully human which should answer that as mum finally returns to the sea.

Did she liquefied?

I really hope the old selkie just decided to return to her old home.

I knew it!

No emojis available. Tearful cat goes here.

Is there a thread of Celtic mythology in this story?

I had a sneaking suspicion about granny. A lot of bittersweet in this arc. I hope the loose end of Sasha is tied up, so to speak.

Woah! I didn’t see that coming.

Why didn’t Mum want Ellen to know? (see 8/2)

I hope she got her seal skin out of her bag.
