Alex Stoddard is still in high school. Check his work *here*
Fifty Lightyears
The worst part of this
is the bad taste in my mouth
I get from the shots
though I wish you would
not insist on displaying
my departure for
the Drone Colonies
where I must again census
the western nomads.
It's just a job
not some special dragon quest
or other fancy.

verification makes it really hard to comment. you'd get more comments if you turned it off. i had to do this several times to get it to work.
nice...this has a great sci fi feel to it...would like to read a much longer version...
ReplyDeleteI've arrived in another realm! Thank you for sharing this glimpse from a fantasy, Christopher. The rest of the story would be intriguing.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff...I really like the bad taste in the mouth thing...
ReplyDeleteSheesh! I'm in a Drone Colony? That explains everything!
ReplyDeletewhat a fabulous take and so succinct ... and thanks for the tip about Stoddard; I never would have guessed his age!
