It ain't bad, that is for sure.
It's even more surreal if you read it while booking a flight online.....
Seriously though, very cool story. For a while there I thought you had a hidden camera in my brain. A lot of the beginning was exactly how I feel for the first 24 or 48 hours after the pics go up.
There's one thing I always know when your stories go up, and that is that it will be something completely unexpected, and all the more fun for it. No exception this time.
Re: your comments on my story...
I tend to have the same problems with every story. They tend to run too short, and usually seem like an introduction to a bigger story.
I'm pretty consistent with my word counts, coming in around 2600 most stories. I think that's because that's all I have time to write. It takes me the first day and a half to get any kind of idea, then I usually do the bulk of the writing in six to eight hours.
What seems to happen is that writing session hacks out what I want to write about. I explore what the idea was, refine it, and get something basic down. The problem is by then, I'm out of time. So esentially I'm always posting a first draft.
As for the introductory nature of the stories, I think I still get ideas in a "novel" form. Short stories don't come naturally to me, which is why Ceramic DM is good for my brain.
I'm glad you liked it.

I never have any idea if something is good or not until weeks later, so I'll have to reserve my own judgements on my story for a while.
