Thanks, Rob. I really need to start working some of these into longer pieces. There’s a lot more description I wanted to add to bring this one to life a bit more.
Bizarre little scene with the abject violence that nobody seems really all that concerned about. Raises a lot of questions, especially with the apparent contradiction that he’ll get out when they send good news, if I read that right.
Yeah, that indifference was a major point of the story for me. I pictured this as a 1950s or 1960s set piece, with the two main characters sitting in a little diner somewhere. It may be something I try to explore more.
