I don't know what else I could possibly say so I will just

echo the posters above.

Thank you for your time and efforts in writing this story to share with us.

It was amazing!

I appreciate it. Glad you liked the story.

Hi Cag!

Thanks for joining in with all the fun!
Hasn't it been amazing so far??? I hope you can enjoy reading the other entries now!

Thanks also for your kind words, I really do appreciate it, and well done on a truly great story.

Gordi,

Thanks man, I certainly appreciate the praise and thanks for the inspiration. I actually have a mind to try this technique again, that is to say, writing a short story based on a photo or number of photos.

It's a great format isn't it?

Get someone else to choose your photos for you! so that you're facing the "challenge" cold and fresh! (It's more fun!)

I was lucky enough to enter & win the only other 4-photo story contest that I've seen (on Rogue Nation), and the photos there were just amazing too! (That's where I "borrowed" the idea from, so I cannot lay claim to coming up with the idea myself unfortunately!!)
...and Jacy helped pick out two of the photos here, so I can't even claim to have come up with this one on my own either!!! LOL
But I have to say - This has been my favourite short story contest yet!

cheers!

Gordi,

It really is! I can't believe that I have not come across it until now.

I still haven't gotten all the entries read yet. Maybe later today I will try to sit and binge read the rest of them.

The writers bloc here always impresses.

It not at the top like the others

a reply to: CagliostroTheGreat

That was pretty damned good.

No, belay that. That was more than pretty damned good! I love the way you wove all the picture elements into it. And the ending: yes, that worked.

JustMike,

Thanks for reading, man! And thanks for the praise, I appreciate it.

a reply to: CagliostroTheGreat I read this last night and really enjoyed it. It was spiritual and yet Sci-Fi... at least that was my take on it... a very wonderful combination!😊

peppycat,

Thank you kindly for taking the time to read. The juxtaposition between Tech/ Spirit was a good call, I think. Reminiscent of the art of H.R. Giger and Talbot's The Holographic Universe. Or, at least, those works inspired this one. Glad you liked it!
