I kind of want to know what came before and what happens next, but, by the same token I don’t want to know. Leaving some things up to the readers imagination is a good thing.
I just hope they were able to save the poppy and sesame seeds or there will be no everything bagels in the post nuclear holocaust world…
Have you ever read Robert Bloch's story "The Cheaters"? I was getting that sort of vibe.
I haven't read The Cheaters? You often recommend good stories after reading mine, and I'm going to check out Robert Bloch's tale. Thanks!
He has never disappointed me with anything he wrote.
Whoah. Heavy story. (I almost said "dark.")
Dark, too. I had to take a long rest after finishing this story.
Good story, though a bit hard to read considering present circumstances. But giving us difficult subject matter is part of the writer’s job, isn’t it?
Thank you, Paul. These are troubling times and it's hard to get that out of my mind.
Yeow! That last line was powerful, Bill.
Yeow! That last line was powerful.
Thank you Sharron. That's how I would feel if I were Håkon.

Somebody knows how the war started, the means of spreading that news is gone. Maybe that is for the best.
I'll miss the poppy seed bagels, too.
Fun fact: Poppyseed Bagles & Muffins can make you show up positive on a drug test!
Yikes!
Great, all the potential jail time without the pleasure of getting stoned😫
Happy to kill your buzz!
I shall mourn that dead buzz for an appropriate length of time🪦
A hard story to write, thank you, Bill.
You're welcome. I was exhausted when I finished The Sunglasses.
From a discussion regarding opaque sunglasses to the end of the world via nuclear holocaust, that's quite a turn--even for you, Bill.
I think I may have eaten too much sugar the day I wrote The Sunglasses.
Or maybe you got too much sun.
I need a pair of sunglasses and seeds now after reading this story. Strange but true.
Sunglasses and seeds go together.
Well, that was certainly terrifying...
It could be worse, and I fear that, too.
