I didn't plan for it to end that way, it simply went down that road. I love when that happens.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275503653927579472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497164028438533435.post-19375595539465892412011-03-31T08:59:39.561-05:002011-03-31T08:59:39.561-05:00Ingrid, Glad you liked this.

Something out there got in (I love the thought of that!), too much power and control given to him, or just too much mindfood (maybe all those chemicals gave him a distorted perception?). What actually happened? You know, I'd like to know too. I need to look into continuing this. Now it's going to drive me up the wall!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275503653927579472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497164028438533435.post-37867594599838201042011-03-27T12:18:09.724-05:002011-03-27T12:18:09.724-05:00I'm with you Joyce, as writing Sci-Fi isn'...I'm with you Joyce, as writing Sci-Fi isn't really my bag, but you knocked it out in spades. Lots of pathos to compliment a solid story.

I'm wondering what exactly happened to the captain... did he just go nuts, or did he really become one of "them"? Would be cool to know who "they" might have been!

I like stories that are setup in log entries as well, they provide a more open stream of consciousness that reveals far more to me.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497164028438533435.post-86382946461093823112011-03-25T09:08:39.226-05:002011-03-25T09:08:39.226-05:00Flannery, Thanks for your comments.

I had the storyline in my head, but couldn't figure out how to present it. The log entry thing came to mind and I'm glad it seems to have worked.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275503653927579472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-497164028438533435.post-64419936936850307742011-03-25T08:20:56.312-05:002011-03-25T08:20:56.312-05:00Fantastic!
