If Rudyard Kipling had ventured into writing spanking erotica he may have written something like this story. Frelic could have been the boy Mowgli, who was raised by wolves in Kipling's 'Jungle Book'. We are fascinated by the barrier between humans and non-humans, and 'The Missing Lynx' reinforces our desire that this century will see the invention of a device which will enable humans to 'talk to the animals'.
There's a great deal to enjoy here: the scene-setting is vivid; the glimpse of a much larger and more complex world is very seductive. I especially like that the story's gentle final twist is hinted at but not spelled out - much more satisfying that way. I miss a slightly more complete picture of the story-world, which is both a strength and a weakness of this piece: it means it doesn't quite stand on its own, but it also leaves me intrigued and wanting to find out more.

This comment, about an earlier version of, 'Of War and Peace, and Mary Beth' which is now posted over on the Story Space site, came from a writer and person I respected and cared for. Her pen name was, Coleen Thomas. Everyone called her, Colly. (note the tense)
"There are times when the words won't flow for me, that story moves me and it really helps me remember how the words can do the job if you let them."

I value every comment truthfully, but the most humbling one was from the fabulous "Swollen" when she left this comment on my poem "You"
"Alpha, this is without doubt the best poem I've read on Lush. To capture such emotion in rhyming verse requires the ability to knit words with imagination and skill - you've done just that. Beautiful and heartfelt
Line 4 "they'd" ... surely you mean "there would" because "they'd" makes absolutely no sense in this context. Not the perfection of word usage I would have expected and I really do think you should have been able to get the opening paragraph right.
