Laz,
I like both the short stories, I thought maybe you could mix them together with the TV aspect of the second one as an afterward to the first one. Kind of like “well I’m done arguing with you, what do you want to do watch TV?”
If I had to choose one of the other I think I’d go with number one. It sounded more cerebral. Just one man’s opinion. Jim
One vote for Story One! piytar voted for Story One earlier, that’s two for Story One.
Just on another note, Amazon Prime movie: “The Last Rifleman “ was well done and worth a watch. Kleenex a good idea.
🤣
So I’m going to say the first one, but only because it’s the first one you read and the ending hasn’t been given away yet. By the time you read the second, you know the twist. Anyway, neat concept!
Three votes for Story One!
I’d vote for #2 because I am saturated with global warming crud.
Three votes for Story One, one vote for Story Two! What a horse race! 😁
Thanks, I'll check it out!
(Regarding Pompeii) "They moved next to Vesuvius. They knew what they were getting into. Let them get covered in ash!"
Four votes for Story One, one for Story Two.
I like the second version better. It’s less preachy, or like a predictable, Ping Pong/ Metronome rhythm of dialog. The description of SAL is interesting, learning what a “day’s” routine requires him to set up for his continued life.
The notion of overall timelessness is interesting. Humans are used to clear, tight schedules and expectations. We observe or celebrate certain markers of time, birthdays, anniversaries, memorials, paydays.
What to do when nothing really changes outside of the sun’s presence, followed by the lack of a sun’s presence.
That brings us back to Sun Worship, so easy,even a Caveman would consider doing it.
I am fatter than both of them. My vote is worth perhaps three of theirs.
Thank you for your kind words, and the vote totals are now Four for Story One, Two for Story Two.
No vote adjustments for weight! LOL
#2 by a nose...
“What do you want to Do?”
.
“What Else is on T.V.?”
Truman Show
Whoa! Story Two is catching up!
Four votes for Story One, Three for Story Two!
