The playing sphere had been activated, the lines denoting its four quadrants and out of bounds regions glowing softly.

Zero-G basketball would be a heck of a challenge? But what does the extra sixth player do?

I like the context in which you chose to embed the prompt. There is rarely only one side to any altercation, and rarely only distinct truth.

The ball is supposed to be passed in sequence from one player to the others on the team. When I chose six, I sorta had the idea of having them work in pairs, but that didn't make the cut. *grin* The game was just background, so although I needed it there, I didn't want it dominating every part of the story. In the end, I think it still does a bit, but I suppose it turned out okay. :)

Thanks for reading!

You and Lizbeth both! *grin*

I like this world you've created. I like the game you've created, and the hard choices in front of this character, the politics that never change, even generations into the future. Well done with this.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked the world I dreamed up for this story. I've pretty much always thought that no matter how much technology changes, the human condition will remain pretty constant. That's both a comfort and a reason to feel a bit depressed at times, but such is life. :)

The casualties of war are often the children. That is how the hate becomes perpetuated. (Sigh)... Nice spilling of ink here, Thanks for the read. :)
