I’m thinking that was an oops.

Haha, yeah, wrote this for Aurelia’s “Hindsight is 20/20” challenge.

Cue giant laser!

Quick little morality tale. Fun, but comes across a little condescending maybe. Something like that. Perhaps it just feels impersonal. Still, a fun idea.

It’s definitely impersonal, we are never introduced to any characters. It’s not meant to be much of a morality tale. I can’t figure out what the moral would be. I don’t get any feeling of condescension, but I wrote the thing. I was utilizing foreshadowing as a blunt instrument, and then I rely on people understanding how disastrous it would be to degrade the orbit of the moon. Maybe that’s what you felt was condescending?
