I like the way even the unsentient 'antagonist' itself is a piece of hard sci-fi. =)John Xerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492709629314280633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879556472347736809.post-88800806314237250212011-10-21T19:40:21.959-07:002011-10-21T19:40:21.959-07:00Wow I loved it!

Wonder what's next.<br /><br />@Steve, intriguing; I think it's one of the things that spaceships usually lack is good "color" / cinematics which is why I like the concept of skull-ships.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14170148559429001125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879556472347736809.post-4989349927454446932011-10-21T16:14:52.250-07:002011-10-21T16:14:52.250-07:00Aidan, I would truly like to see this short story ...Aidan, I would truly like to see this short story in film version, the imagery here is beautiful.Steve Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18414279461366098783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879556472347736809.post-53544562585234311902011-10-21T09:32:25.850-07:002011-10-21T09:32:25.850-07:00Wow, dense & emotive all at once.
