I read this story in one sitting. It was very well written and structured in a way it flowed well. Rick and Andy are two characters that I will remember and had a very interesting dynamic.
My last cat loved fried chicken and meat lover's pizza. We always would make her a few tenders when we made it, and for the pizza, if was the toppings, cheese, and sauce. The dog ate the crust.
Thank you. I was going to make it longer and tempted to go back and do so, but when I got it to the end above, I realized I wouldn't be able to keep it a short. So, I cut it there, with a promise to revisit. You may have noticed, but Gavin and Kyle are from an earlier prompt.
This was a great story, hands down. I felt Andy's anxiety, and then the Joke. WOW... I know what I would have said, and then to find out it was a Joke... dude! After that kiss and a good long laugh, I'd be wondering when would be going to bed.
Thank you! Same here on wondering what life would be like in a PA setting for Homosexuals. I felt in this case, that the Leaders of this shelter felt that Breeding a new Population was more important than anything else. And if you're not doing that, well you're no use to the collective. I've read a story once, where all men regardless of sexual orientation were required to sire so many children. If you refused, then you were killed.
You're welcome, and thank you for reading! I know all about that grit, lol. As an FL Native who grew up on the coast, we had salt and sand from the beach blowing on the cars all the time. Was a pain at times.
Thank you! I agree it is wrong on so many levels. I wrote it, and it still makes me mad. LOL
Thanks, Drew. I'm sorely tempted to turn this into a full story. Given its nature, the 2017 Fall Anthology Theme The Fall Out would be a perfect fit.
Thank you, Cia. I've been a SciFi junkie since birth. Mom said I used to play with Rockets and Spacemen long before I could remember it.
Thank you! At one point, I though I might have to break out the Black-n-Decker, to clean off some of the dustiness.
Thank you. Once I got the overall theme, (thank you, Morgan Freeman,) I felt it had to be harsh, once I wrote in the Extinction Level Event. I'm just glad it turned out good, for being short.
