Still twilight ...almost dark, so three votes cast before sundown:
A Kind of Immortality by
@BT Jones -Near perfect, if not perfect science fiction by my reckoning: A hopeful future. Space exploration. Strange new worlds. Some time bending. New lifeforms. And a bit of melancholy. Because that's part of life too.
Assisted Suicide by
@Phyrebrat -The story was bleak (typical of the author's work I think), but it was extremely well written. Great sinister final line '
That one's reserved, he says with his eyes...' Thar be serious writing skills afoot.
The lights shone by
@Luiglin A writer giving a night class I took said it's worth trying to create a universal character for a story. I could see the old codger nursing the drink in my mind's eye, I think I know that character. The story flowed from that.
Almost voted for:
Agent Sasha Silverfox in The Dog Who Loved Me by
@Starbeast 'Incapacitated with procrastination' ...good fun, and almost on the leaderboard.
The Explorer's Obsession by
@mosaix A species hardwired to self destruct.
Appletop by
@Rafellin Some serious wordbuilding for 300 words.
Not an easy choice this time round. Well done
@Laura R Hepworth , and to the always consistent reviewers. Thanks all for all the stories.
