I've been working a similar vein for years now. Suddenly it's all the rage to write fiction with specific word counts. I'm not sure why my muse can only spare me 299 each time, but my stories are the length they are because that's how long they last. No other reason. Wishing you well. I couldn't possibly think of writing something as long as a conventional novel. More power to you. Nice work, Vashti.

Then it was so familiar that it reminded me of a Neil Diamond song that says " here I go with the same song again and you might hear it again soon" What a beautiful message that God could still find favor on us.

I enjoy reading and writing what if it were today type pieces. ;-) It could use some tightening up to make it flow a bit better. But, all in all, your premise is good. I think instead of Maria clicking the away message, I would have Sara doing that with Maria left looking at the screen when the blinding light occurs. but - the story is not mine. I think you did a fine job. ;-) >.. Vashti - I like it. I enjoy reading and writing what if it were today type pieces. ;-)
