Beautifully written as always Bill. Lots of colourful description. Loved it but couldn't get the connection between the running man and the comet - sorry. Maybe I am not quite awake or something?

I tried to blur the space between reality and fantasy in this story. Is the comet real? Did he fly? I'll leave that up to you to decide. All I can say for sure is that he's hot from exercising and unhappy because he's made to exercise.

He escaped by flying into the heavens. A beautiful surreal way to die.

I love your imagination. Great story even from one of those people who does love exercise :-)

Thanks Alison. If you're interested in taking up stair climbing, there's a fun FB group, Stair Climbers International. It's actually an addictive exercise.
