Another just wonderful, incisive, and brisk short story. You're killing it, Nick. Across genre and tone.

I liked it a lot, Nick. And yes, I found it especially interesting because I knew you know the setting well. It was written with the authority of someone who knows.

The ending is very beautiful. And what a clever and effective illustration for this week. (Well, a couple weeks ago, now.)
