What was that noise in the night about? It must be nice to be home and cared for by people Reginald knows and trusts. Cheers!

I had a lovely walk. The sun isn't shining, but it's mild and breezy. I can smell spring.

Spikey has... issues.

Hello, all.

Hello, Albert.

Great excerpt. I was wrong. I had read this back when it was first posted. It only took a second to realize it when I started reading. This is an example of what the anthologies can bring forth... unexpected subjects and quality writing which moves us deeply. Kudos to the author. Thanks, @Cia

I thought I hadn't read this, but with the first sentence I remembered I had, and of course I had left a comment. It is an astonishing piece of writing, Dodger. I remembered to leave a story review this time. Thanks again!

An outstanding and gripping story. If you do nothing else, read this heart-wrenching look into our history. The author has created something very special, Cheers!

Hello, all! 18C today.

Puberty.

And that squeaky voice.

Very descriptive journey to their new home. Ghosts can be fun. Great chapter, Albert. Cheers!

It's going to be 17C tomorrow. Hey, everyone!

I haven't read this, but I will. Dodger is an excellent author with great instincts, so I look forward to this one. Cheers!

Hey, all!

We had the same. I miss those days.

Back at you, bro.

It's our cross to bear, brother.

Hello, all! 16C here and rain.

Hi, Albert.

Enjoy your weekend, girls and boys.

Scene Two: Gary tries to make amends. Sorry, Ron, and of course we are friends. I love Robert Jordan, may he rest in peace, and I loved The Wheel of Time series... for the most part. That said, I about tore my hair out at how boring and drawn out it became. It happened for me around book seven I think... around there anyway(maybe earlier), and I later learned it was mostly because he was ill while writing. As far as detail, he was a master in the early books, holding my complete attention with its richness. I think what threw me most were all the names of Aes Sedai etc. It was almost impossible to keep them straight, and I shuddered when I first heard there would be a TV series. I have been delightfully surprised and have found little jarring with regard to order. Of course it's been a long time since I read the books, and maybe now I wouldn't find some of the series an ordeal. Also, your flair for the dramatic was impressive. Forgiven?

I for one am glad they are not religiously following the books. It would not have translated well for a TV show IMO. This version works for me, covering a lot of what is necessary, but not getting bogged down in Jordan detail. So far, season three is exciting and coherent, and I think a season four is quite possible.

Thanks, Albert, but it's not about that. It's about the profession (or passion if you will) being threatened, and AI advancing so quickly that even the inventors are supremely surprised.
