ISLAND IN THE SAND
Part XV
Star stopped what she was doing and stood still. After a few seconds, she began to get control of both her emotions and her breathing. It was ridiculous to get mad at machines, no matter how sentient they might seem. It was like getting mad at tripping over a stair, or a crack in the concrete that caused a fall.
Another great chapter Thanks James
Thanks Bud, your short evaluation means a lot to me…

Jim
Found what or who? Maybe an army of robots to defend their lair? The more that is reveled the more questions seem to arise.
Yes, well, there is that. It’s that kind of a story….
Semper fi,
Jim
Really enjoyed this chapter…I feel the edge of the blade that Star wields as the emotional counterpart to Jordan. Intuition, annoying
only to those to whom it silently remains in service! Jordan’s advantage is genderless resolve…somehow I sense Star is the only other human now in a position to utilize it, as such! I simply refuse to question how the author gained this insight…so, we’ll just let it float right here! Superb!
Thanks for the comment D.D. as usual. I gained the insight from life experience, entertwined with a fictional plot….
Jim,I am hooked like everyone else.
Well, not everyone, but what the hell…I am enjoying the writing…
Semper fi, and thanks a lot…
Jim
Aww, now, that was just mean! This is so much fun! I let you take me entirely into the story, getting a lot paternal about Star and her group, and suddenly I’m at my kitchen counter wondering what happened. Jim, you are an amazement.
Thanks Walt. God gave me some talent in a few areas. Artillery and story telling…I have grown to find
the former a bit more satisfying and less transitory….
Semper fi,
Jim
