A visitor tried to post a comment about Canadian military rankings. It was so off the wall that I thought it was spam. If I was mistaken, and someone really did think I could help them on that, I’m sorry, but I don’t have any special knowledge of the Canadian military.
I just ten minutes ago read these in the print edition of the mag…and, for just a microsecond, wondered if they had seen my book 100 JOLTS, which is all about this kind of approach to the horror story. But that was terribly egotistical of me, of course.
In any case, you really ought to look at the print edition of Wired when you get a chance, because they took all of these microfictions and did rather interesting things with the layout and design. It would make a cool poster. My favorite, btw, is Alan Moore’s play on the time machine, but I love them all… in fact, I know quite a few of these writers and it was great to see them all in the pages of WIRED! Wish they’d do more of this kind of free play; it’s like poetry.
