    I'm 62 and I started reading Science Fiction short stories in Arthur C. Clark and Issac Asimov anthologies when I was was 12. I was always impressed with the short story SiFi format. It takes a great deal of talent to tell a compelling story with very abstract elements in a very brief narrative. You, my friend, are a credit to the genre.

    Great short about the complex bond of brothers.. I have a 17yr old son Alex and a 12yr old son Gabe who loves his older brother dearly and looks up to him, but my oldest Alex is a good son, but has been distant with Gabe and Gabe has struggled with it over the last 4 years as Alex has been growing up and becomming a teenager.. I hope they both find out just how much they will need each other as they both get older just as these two brothers have realized they love, believe and will need each other! Thank you for this short and still reminding me to have faith that they will find a way to connect and grow closer! 😃

    BRAVO Carleton! I actually clapped. It's no easy task to jerk a tear or trigger some deep meaningful emotion within 15 minutes. Incredible! Typically you need a little time to get truly invested in the characters but you absolutely nailed it. I felt Johns pain and perseverance. Your average viewer usually doesn't get that, and why would they? But I've done the work. You must be about my age. I'm 47 and I have to say I was transported back to one of the best eras for film. I absolutely loved it. You had an exceptional cast, the writing and the work were superb. To think I took a job with a bum streamer. I just knew this was the work I should've been doing. Be Proud. I'll be following you on IG.
