Great story! Really enjoyed this.
If words are like notes of music, then some stories are like tuning forks- they strike a setting just right and resonate with it. They leave a Feeling, and it can be beautiful.
Perseids feels like a perfect snapshot of a moment that never happened- or maybe even a memory of a perfect moment, caught in text from a parallel universe.
I love this story- everything from the music to the input methods and dialogue. 5 out of 5 falling stars.
