This is absolutely chilling, Bill. You have perfectly condensed 500 pages into one page. I didn't even want to read it, but you dragged me in kicking and yelling. Yikes. Powerful.
My realization at the end was as unexpected, thanks to your deft story-telling, as it was all too familiar. War is just so stupid and the tie goes to the dead.
That WAS a surprise.
Thanks, Mark. I'm glad I could surprise you.
The first Santa 🎅?

You’ve outdone yourself!
Thank you for your kind words, Deirdre.

Thank you, Sharron. Sometimes short works and I'm glad it did for The Last Warriors.

War is catastrophic.

Wow! What a twist!
Thank you!
Wow! Didn't see that coming. Great twist. And a new question arises.
Thanks, Virginia. I like stories that have questions still pending.
Another "Twilight Zone" type piece.
Thank you, David. The Twilight Zone inspires me.
Nice twist at the end!
Thank you, Maya.
Oops, I’m an android too. Nice one, Bill.
Thanks, Mark.
Some days, especially in the morning, I wonder if I’m human.
Interesting situation with an unexpected resolution. Your writing placed me in the moment with Julia, Bill. Well done.
Thank you for your kind words, K.C. I'm happy you enjoyed this little tale.
Love it!
Thank you, Martine. I'm happy to hear that.
Economy of prose with an unforeseen twist. Isn’t fiction fun!
Thanks, Mark. This time of year, everyone's very busy, so I wanted to keep this story short. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Tense and tightly written Bill. Loved it. - Jim
