Transcending the Humanity in Short Stories
Mark has transcended again with a story that appeals to your emotions, your intellect, and your humanity. Peal back layer after layer to discover something new about the characters, society and ourselves. I fell in love with Andrea too and her childlike innocence, her path to discovering love. Although the story is placed in the future, the corporate indifference and automaton law enforcement echo warnings to us in the present. The dedication of Aiden and Attorney Finney to truth and compassion reminds us of our higher selves. The doctor and legal difficulties reflect good intentions gone wrong.
Beyond Certain Boundaries
It took only a few paragraphs to "hook me" and keep me riveted throughout the remainder of the story. I have read very little if any "short stories" since "Dandelion Wine" and my freshman year in college in the early 70s - this one measures up with the best of them.
The author assumes some degree of sophistication of the reader, but little a reasonably educated person would be lacking. He has that special knack of drawing the reader in at a profoundly personal level - investing him/her in the main characters - not only what happens to them but how they feel, their desires - everything that makes them human.
It has been a very long time since I read a story that made me cry - but this SOB pulled it off - and brilliantly.
I would read ANYTHING this guy writes.

Beyond Certain Boundaries
Mark Giglio, the author, gave us an intriguing plot. Reminiscent of the black & white tv mystery shows but with a futuristic twist. I enjoyed his writing style, it was concise and didn't wander around the plot. I am looking forward to reading more of your writings,
