(SXWC) The Final Warning

reply to post by masqua


I kid it was a great knock off of the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.
I enjoyed it. For some reason I picture Obama as the president, after Oprah was mentioned.

Ah... kewl.
Your post kinda threw me a bit.

What I liked about it is that it followed the golden rule of story-telling, which is "Write what You Know". Nothing reads truer or more believable than those things which are universally understood.

Think of Psycho and the shower scene. Who (reading this) hasn't had a shower behind a cutrtain? What's going on at the other side of that shower curtain? It's a feeling as common as 'What's under the Bed?" or What lurks in my Closet?".

I can see why you won. As far as SitX stories go this one was AWESOME!!! Would it be an ATS T&C violation if I told flatwoods to sell this story to Science fiction age?

He should. You all know it. This story makes me smile every time I re-read it.

And I thought bad things happened when I let my warranties expire! Wow!

You've got quite a talent, sir. Thank you for sharing that with us.
