RE: Delmus ~ A fictional short story
I like the ending like that although I did pause for a bit to think mmmmm... The thin metal thing in the glove box is quite a while back to tie in for me :)
Every dog will have its day, I do think Delmus from the original project was not so bad but then again what disaster that project may have caused is not mentioned so he might have many lives on his hands.
Congrats on the curie :)
Thanks Pen, that's some killer applause! :)
A lot of this comes from my experimenting with writing prose, and working on introducing those "gotcha" scenarios, where the intention is to have the reader surprised when they put the two things together that you've set up for them to discover. Writing poetry with these same kinds of elements is much easier, IMO, as it's easy to brush over territory that prose would need to fill in gaps. With poetry, in many cases, the gaps and the territory aren't important.
