Most never saw it coming at all.

This is how I'd prefer it, to be honest.

What *I* didn't see coming until the word exoskeleton was the twist. Well done!

[ellison]

Thank you!!

I was feeling worried for the civilization in the first part and then the twist happened, which I didn't see coming.

Fleas? Kill them all without mercy. Our end of the apartment complex got infested last summer, it was utterly miserable.

[ellison]

Oh by all means, kill them without mercy! I hope I didn't come off as sympathetic to the fleas, because that would be a gross misrepresentation. lol! We are dealing with fleas here at the moment, and I haaaaaaaate them being here. They're almost gone, but they keep reappearing, less and less each time. Hopefully they'll be gone for good soon!

Oh, boy. My sympathy was gone as soon as I realized what had been murdered by The Storm.

And right up until then, I felt bad for them. :D Nicely done!

[ellison]
