My great thanks to Carl Sagan, who gave me the inspiration and wisdom for this piece.

I probably should have added this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pfwY2TNehw to my earlier comment. This is an edited version of the lecture that I particularly enjoy (I’ve listened to the full one too, which is quite good.)

The last line of the story really brought the character to life for me. :)

I’ve always love that essay. :)

I found “empty 3 player” to be utterly charming and it cemented the wistful innocence of the character. I’d love to see more of this story.
