Hilarious! And relatable. I can totally see this becoming a series.

Great story, thanks! I particularly liked the rent rant, starting at “Rent is a curse.”
I also enjoyed this story (and reading it aloud to my wife). Coincidentally, this story is the latest episode of the Lightspeed Podcast (narrated by Stefan Rudnicki). So that was nice timing.
That was good fun. After awhile I was hearing it in the HHGTTG narrator voice from the radio play.
That was very good! Especially given the current situation...
Fuck.... I felt this in ways I didn’t know were possible. Read more
This is beautifully prosed and deeply moving. Well done, Mr. Castro. Well done.
I hope this gets expanded on. Great story!
Fantastic story, loved the writing. Definitely wanted to keep reading.
I will never understand why incredible fiction like this gets no stars, comments, or attention, and some post about a teaser trailer for a Disney movie to be released 18 months from now gets hundreds. Anyway, this is great.
I feel like this would make an interesting graphic novel : ]
i would've stayed more in the library if those choose your own adventure stories I loved to read in the school library back in grade school was this fun!
But seriously: I enjoyed that story very much.
I enjoyed this story a great deal. An awesome perspective on what it means to be human and what costs we’re willing to take to achieve that ideal. Thought provoking stuff.
That was a great story! I’m so glad I took the time to read it.
I like this. Interesting world building.
You mean that’s not an excerpt from a book I can go buy right now? For shame! What a great story and a great setup for a new IP!
I needed that: I’ve been plodding thru some truly clunky self-published Amazon sci-fi and forgot what lyrical, rich (and baffling) writing can be like.
It was a nice read. Kind of ambiguous at times, but it seemed to answer the questions it posed. I’m reminded of Shel Silverstein by the style and premise.
That image reminds me of the walk-in whale in front of the West Hartford Children’s Museum here in Connecticut.
