ISLAND IN THE SAND
Part XXIII
Once again, the entire band, from Star, Wren, and Jameson, stopped to stand and stare at the walls of the house in silence.
“Did that thing just say the conveyance could fly off the planet? Jameson asked.

Once you broke the ice and folks got a taste of what you have to offer we were hooked. I haven’t found any of your stories I did not enjoy.
thanks Pete, and I really mean that. It’s hard sometimes to simply write away and not have people read.
Hard to build an audience because the same talent that allows for the writing doesn’t cross over in to being the business or advertising guy.
Semper fi,
Jim
waiting on your book deal , i think a may read all night !
thanks for the waiting Bill…and the support and compliment in your writing here…
Semper fi,
Jim
👍 good morning James , perfect to wake up to another exciting chapter.
Thanks Jim, and not too bad to read your comment, either.
Semper fi,
Jim
What do I say? Do I complain about the long fall back to reality? I thInk I’ll just sit here waiting on the next chapter, grinning ear to ear and shaking my head. I hope you get half the enjoyment from writing this as I do reading it. I have learned not to guess at what our little band will do next!
I am having a good time letting out some of my knowledge and experience with AI,
self-awareness, anthropology, sociology and more…not to mention physics, of course.
Lots of fun.

that was a bad place to stop lol now i will lay awake thinking about what happens
That’s probably an accurate criticism Dave, but I have to stop somewhere and that seemed to be the place.
Sorry. thanks for wanting more and faster.
Semper fi,
Jim
What do you mean the conveyance is dropping? Don’t you let that “thangy” crash.
Awesomeness, James!
I love you Nancy Henderson, and the demands you do not make upon me. And your love of the work, of course.

Jim
Great addition. Made me feel I was right there with them. The entities seem to be sporting some human characteristics that appear to be trouble on the horizon.
(If) could well afford to lose True, but he could not be depended upon to be loyal to anyone but himself. (It)
Thanks Pete. It’s amazing to me how many guys are reading this story. I thought the audience would be all
women because Star is a woman and most guys don’t want to read a novel where the protagonist is a woman.
Thanks for being one of the men who’ve broken me from that belief.

Jim
Hey! We’re all newly enlightened to the fairer sex and the fact that they are tougher than we are. That and we’ll read anything you write, yeah, you are that goo
Goo. I like that part Walt.
I’m not sure what it is but I resemble that remark!
Thanks a lot. I do think about such things and I did not want to write and be one of those guys that treat a bright tough woman
as some sort of guy without the swinging equipment.
They are a whole lot more complex and wonderful than that.
And man, if given the opportunity they can get the job done.
Semper fi, and thank you my friend for making me the goo.
Jim
