This is my new short story (near future SciFi), and I'm thinking about maybe trying to do something with it. The topic for the challenge was leaving off with a choice.

If anyone happens to be curious or needs to kill a little time. About 7,000 words. It hasn't been completely polished up yet.

Thanks. Comments would be great if it's not too much trouble. This is the first thing I might give a go at submitting and I need to polish it up.

Gud, awesome short! I love the way you left it hanging. Gives me goose bumps.

Thanks Sail, and thanks Wolfram. I got an idea from reading your comments that I think will work to solve a problem!

....and I think the idea will work now that's it written in.

I think I can get Sarah whipped into shape and ready for submission by mid-October.

I got second place in the little contest of the little SciFi and Fantasy board I'm on with 'Discipline'. It's only out of 10 total stories but being what I consider my first real short story and, as per the rules, done with no feedback it still feels pretty good. It makes me feel like I can trust my editing even if feedback is still crucial to really finishing it off.

Congrats, Gud! That's some nice validation.

Eta: I like the story, too. That's an interesting world you've built.
