Reminds me a bit of The Forever War. I like it.

@Red, Forever War? I’ll have to check it out, thanks for the comment. Damn, I thought I was being original.

“Homosexuality has become officially encouraged by many of the world’s nations.”

I was going to write this into my story. too cool. Not specifically homosexuality, but one person or two people could not engage in sexual activity, it would have to be a team activity. At a minimum, voyeuristic.
Oh yeah, I have it read this now!

Sounds bizarre. The comment makes it even weirder. I’ve actually had a trilingual conversation before, so I can at least relate to the insanity of that part. Weird situation you’ve thought of, especially the digestive enzynes part.

i liked it, until i read your comment about how you wanted to fit in sexual activity – and now i’m totally confused. i don’t see how that fits? or maybe i missed the point of the story?

@Mark,

It was a response to Reds mention of a novel he compared my story to, follow the link. When most people write on Ficly, there’s much more of a longer story in mind. Many sci fi novels contain sexually ambiguous narrative, no one is ever 100% straight or gay.
