It was not the machinations of my own inner voice, because one cannot be startled by their own thoughts, only shocked by hearing them, like one who looks into a mirror and recoils or despises the sound of their own echo. Startling is when the reflection changes during the viewing or the echo returns with an original voice."Abigail Leskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220987331584276501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012189846533980168.post-32074927473169859102020-06-19T17:09:26.517-04:002020-06-19T17:09:26.517-04:00To a very great degree was I entertained by this w...To a very great degree was I entertained by this work. The plot and characters both were incredibly fun and well done. The commiseration I had for Justin pertaining to certain instances of wreckage perhaps was existent, but I am afraid it was stifled and perhaps even nullified by evident and marked amusement. Horace, Enger, and the ending all just struck me as being particularly great, but the whole thing was mighty cordial to my sense of humor and to my sense of quality. Liked it lots.Joseph Leskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538730679002750119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012189846533980168.post-70071313976552795482020-06-19T16:29:08.145-04:002020-06-19T16:29:08.145-04:00I quite liked this!

The tone of the story and the portrayal of the influence of the phone are excellent, and I really like that we get a bit of revelation at the end that enables the story to command still more interest.Joseph Leskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538730679002750119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3012189846533980168.post-27285691107432846172020-06-18T23:26:08.135-04:002020-06-18T23:26:08.135-04:00This was very good!
