Wow, Bill. Thanks for the ride into the plausible or implausible. Who knows? My imagination enjoyed it, and I'm sorry Kia didn't make it to the secured facility in Boulder. Rats!

Thanks, Jenise. I feel sorry for Kia, but her story may not be over.

Good read, but picked up on Chekhov's umbrella when it was first mentioned.

I'm glad you enjoyed The Important One, Tony. It was fun to write.

As umbrella sales plummet. 😉

Not a sunny future in this one.

We have (not kidding) 22 umbrellas in our apartment for two people. Why? Because we buy a new one or two every time we're caught out in the rain.

Thanks, Deirdre. I'm a little worried that didn't write fiction here.

A great dystopian story that's plausible enough to be concerning. Excellent execution here!

Thank you, Jason. I hope it never comes to pass, too.
