He tried to shake the past out of his head, but the scotch seemed to be giving it traction.

That’s a real nice turn of phrase, very evocative.

Scotch giving it traction? That’s so good.

Thanks for the compliments. This format makes you really try and do a lot with a little.

This has become an awesome series. I’m glad you got them on the rocket, too, because air/space travel is fun to write. Sequeled!

And like scotch, this story gets better with age.

This is a really neat series. Can I just say I absolutely love that so many people are playing along?! Awesome. And a great bit of additional information having all the pets die—gives more detail to how sterile and dead the place is, I guess more for pet owners. I have a fish; I don’t think I’d miss it that much.

I’m new to this site. I’ve only seen a little so far. I’m really impressed how much the writer here can do with so little.

Nice touch HaveToWrite!
