Don't know how I missed this but so, so gut-punching. This is how, in my darker moments, I think how a real situation like this would have been. The families, the assisted suicides. Thanks for having the will to get this down. Dark but so easy to see, the way you write it.

When I posted this I made it so that it didn't appear on my f-list, so it's not strange that you missed it.

Yea, this story.. it was a bit of a journey. As tough as the lives were that we saw on screen, you have to stop and wonder about the people who had absolutely no control over what happened to them, except in the very basic of ways.

I love the little bits and snippets - just glimpses without unnecessary detail weighing them down.

It's a story format I bounce around with from time to time.. it works well when covering long periods of time, I've found.

Thank you for reading.

This really packs a punch. Thanks for linking to this again.

No problem, I sort of stuck this story in the back and left it to be ignored...

It was difficult to read about characters who normally have such control suddenly being helpless, thrown around by the tides and by chance. Still, it would've been reality for most of the fleet, and the way you've written this really made that hit home.

This is one of the pieces I constantly forget that I have, so I'm always surprised when I see a comment on it.

It is definitely an interesting exercise in taking away a lot of the options and choices a character would initially have and just setting the afloat in the rapids of fate.
