Odd beyond odd. Very imaginative and definitely out there.

Billy Christ!?

Welcome back, Howie. Is this a one time engagement or a full-fledged comeback tour?

Probably a one-time engagement. I keep meaning to come back more often but have been too busy with other writing.

I’d imagine every world in Simon’s Russian-doll universe would have its own savior, except that Simon got conned in the others. Which suggests the next five worlds may be hell worlds. Just saying. Anyway, I only popped in to throw this one in because I couldn’t let you and Alexa have all the reward. Now let’s blow this thing and go home.

Wait, did I just turn into Han Solo…?

BEAUTIFUL !!!!!!
I love it!!
It’s just absolutely perfect. I love “Billy Christ” and I laughed at the “There was a Simon” line.

Oh, that’s right: ficlets formatting sucks. Sorry. I forgot.

Thanks, Fyora! How ya doin’?

Not where I was gonna take it, but There was a Simon is just too perfect of a line. Plus I love how the first paragraph was something we could all relate to, and then it turns out to be some other worldly reptile.

And as far as Tarzan & I taking all the credit? I think we’re both hoping you’ll come in and write one bang-up magical spell thing towards the end.

It was an absolute pleasure to read your work again.

I’m completely uninspired, which is sad. But I’m very glad to see you back, especially working on this series.
