Why this must be read:

Kmmerc is a new writer, inspired by the new fandom of “Person of Interest” and she seems to write nearly constantly, taking the reader into history and forward in time, posting WIPs and shorter completed works frequently. This is one of her newest efforts and it’s a sweet little character study of Reese needing something to do with his hands when he’s not using them to hold guns or punch out bad guys. Inspired by the “thousand cranes” legend of making cranes to get a wish, Kmmerc’s Reese starts folding old newspapers that remind him of past pain and moves on to find other types of paper in a journey of healing. The author skillfully weaves the crane folding through well-remembered cases he and Finch have worked on and as hope builds in him, the cranes change from sad and dead looking to cheerful. At the end, we see that Reese’s wish is going to come true. This story shows Kmmerc’s growing skill and is completely enjoyable.
