Away with the fairies

For some reason, as I was reading this story it made me think of it as being a Sci Fi version of a western.  Instead of a wagon train, there was a line of mechanized camels that they were taking to a predetermined location.  Instead of whiskey causing the problem, part of the problem could be attributed to fairy wings, and we're not talking Tinkerbell here.  Instead of the wagon train being attacked by hostile indigenous Americans, they were sabotaged by techies that created a potentially threatening situation with their coding.  

I found this story to be captivating, with interesting give and take between the two humans on this mission, and the plot kept me guessing until the end.  If you liked the book or movie "The Martian", then I'm sure you'll find this inventive story fascinating as well.  

So many things come to a head in this story that it's enough to make anyone feel under the influence, or "away with the fairies" while reading. Thus far, this is the most unique "Creature Feature" in this year's anthology. That Delta 1156 is one sly camel! 🤣

Fascinating take on the theme. Read this... it will keep you guessing, and you will enjoy it. Cheers!

This is an awesome take on the theme.

So read on to learn about Bent, camels and fairies.
