Ehhhh. The "Intelligent Design" version of this story was better than this one, imo. For one thing, the character of Mrs. Wallace is extremely shallow. I didn't ever really understand why she took the actions she was taking. Like others, I felt like the story started with cool strong imagery (the gingerbread getting down doggy style) and then sort of ...petered out. And, like others, this is how I felt about both "Scar Stories" and "Galatea". Seeming like a trend, at this point.
Though I have to say, I really liked Kaftan's shit story. Run that one, PodCastle!
