Unexpected Epiphany

[akirlu]

I was hunting through files on my USB key this morning, and opened an unfamiliar-sounding one to see what was in it. It's the opening of my beanstalk terrorist story. (The one I started for the "The Sea and the Sky" prompt, for those who were following along in Deathless Pose -- it's meant to be an Analog-style story. Techy and crunchy and based on a technological idea.) I was surprised to discover that it reads well after sitting fallow for so long. Usually things go clunky and awkward when I'm not looking. But no, this hasn't. This is a good story. I should finish it. I think I need to borrow a tame physicist. Pestilence. All my tame scientists have gone on to having careers.
