And Now For Something Completely Different
Story Six in the Reading Challenge
Story Six in the Reading Challenge is And Now For Something Completely Different. This is also available in Long Story Short. Please comment below when you've finished it.
Here's a question for you. What's the most exciting thing ever found in a fire bucket? And don't say 'fire' because you'll be wrong. Suppose - just suppose - it was the technology to take a pod to Mars? Yeah, now we're talking! Every Christmas, for reasons which seem good at the time - especially after an eggnog or two - Max and the others leap into the nearest pod and indulge in their illegal Christmas jump. It's a tradition. This year, however, just to be different, they find themselves part of someone else's illegal Christmas jump. It's time to don a spacesuit and bring your own urine!
The stories in the challenge are:
I don't know how Jodi manages to make everything sound so reasonable! Poor commander Hey. Love the character development.
Iive the notion that there is life on Mars, it's intelligent, altruistic, thoughtful and effective.... If only we could say the same about our governments (witty snappy dialog was also very appreciated, if expected)
