Hello, here's a little science fiction story I wrote. What do you folks think - any suggestions?

Thanks you very much

Willem

Willem. Ahem. It's 2:30 in the afternoon over here, and I should not be shedding a tear.

But I am, and it's your fault.

This is a beautiful story, thank you. When I come to collect all the scifi challenge stories, the readers of will cry, too.

Would you do me a favour, please, and go start at thread at the bottom of this page? A87717720 So it will be your thread, and the visitors to the Science Fiction Workshop will see this one there, too? Thanks. (We're trying to get the Challenge stories on that page, the Prof's got one already.)

This is beautiful and sad.

Hello Dmitri and Minorvogonpoet - thank you, thank you very much ... there's nothing more I can wish for in a story, than that it touched someone.

Love the idea. I'm sure it would help world peace and protection of environment if everybody could experience the world in the skin of somebody else.

Hi there Bel! Thanks for reading and for your comment. How I see it, the further we can go towards living or at least imagining ourselves in other skins, the better!

Yes, understanding others, or at least making the effort to try is the right step forward.

And...just to be all official and everything, this is also in this week's . A87736800

You're right, of course. But I made my way through all the stories in here, and through the backlog, so I commented here.

Nothing wrong with that, at all.

Just putting it in 'for the record'.

Yes, I tend to forget doing that when we pick an entry form here for .
