This was so lovely! I haven't had the chance to read a lot of the other stories this week, but now I can't wait.

I love your descriptions of the chamber, the way they figure out what's going on, and how John has deeper thoughts about the whole experience after.

the flavors! the colors! the musical references!!

Loved the "speak friend and enter" discussion, and the "What's the answer to life, the universe and everything?"

"Forty-two, but what does that have to do with..."

good stuff

Synesthesia is such a cool concept. This story gets like 300 cool points for using it. I also loved John at the end, and of course "Forty-Two."
