This story just keeps getting better and better.

I think that this is what Ficlets is all about.

Great work. I’m humbled that you and Will took my work and ran with it so spectacularly.

Thanks, Wil!
Loved “Dancing Barefoot” and “The Happiest Days of Our Lives”, by the way!

Ah, a civilization with too many people and too much rocket fuel to drown themselves in megastructures.
May try to sequel if nobody else does before I get around to it.

This was surprising for me. I wouldn’t think that actually acting on hope would work in a sequel here, but there it is, right there, working.

What’s so intriguing about this Ficlet stuff, to me, is how you learn about other people seeing things you didn’t see in familiar work. Good stuff.

The Bowie title fits this sequel perfectly. That’s so cool. I love where this story is going.

Thanks, Melia. I’m glad you noticed. A little secret – I went and found a good line in the song Wil mentioned, and wrote my Ficlet to match.

Great casual feel, just like the one that started it…real people in an unreal situation. Three cheers for David Bowie references!

Awesome is as awesome does, that’s what Momma always says… Oh yeah, and life is kinda like a box o’ chocolates, ya never know what you’re gonna get. Just don’t let “BIG IDA ” near the box. You might be missin’ a finger or two… Yeah, uhuh, Ok….. (Note: Inside Joke – I’m sure uselessness & Nick get it…) Ha! In a strange mood today, folks – snowing like hell here in Indiana and I’m listening to Nirvana – puts me in an awesomely strange mood. hahahahahhahah

Nirvana,huh? Nice story there,compound fracture.

Very nice.
