I'd rather be lost in space than in the microseconds of time. I'm not a timelord. I'm not a Doctor, and I don't have a tardis. Or do I need a Tardis? or a Sidrat? Do I need a sonic screwdriver?
I could be Garak, just a tailor. Or maybe a tinkerer or a spy?
Time flows all wibbly wobbly and circles back to the first second, or maybe the second.
Must slow down, must breath, must concentrate. Poof! I'm off again.
Ambitious! “If people understood what information really is, they would be as outraged by the sight of a bloated hard drive as they are at a goose’s liver.” I enjoyed the humor and was pulled in by how you described all the uncluttered space in animals’ minds and then the sentence above and then the bit about being gentle with information.
Thank you Erik - you are officially the first person to write a comment on my very first short story - I thank you from the bottom of my heart - for taking the time to read and then sharing your thoughts. I feel like you got what I was trying to do - it’s a tightrope between getting deep and poetic about the world and the way I see it and keeping it light/funny so the reader stays with me and the characters feel real.
