First Night Challenge: A Long, Long Sleep: By Saeva

Mar 06, 2005 02:27

Title: A Long, Long Sleep
Author: saeva
Category: Gen, but not. A reflection piece; the expedition's first calm night on Atlantis.
Notes: This is all idiotparade's fault and is also tangentially related to our co-fic Prime, Not Prime. Glad I got it in before the challenge was closed.

( The city sleeps. And the people sleep. )

Great AI eerie voice, and of course I can't get out of this comment window without saying, "I'm sorry, John, I can't allow you to do that..."

This is very interesting, kind if creepy, but in a good way. I liked it a lot :-).

I like what you're doing here. This especially:

It was the second thing she learned about them. The first was that they were loud.

The humans come across, not quite as childish, but being like children in some ways--running in and making lots of noise, developing a haphazard understanding of the world around them--but "she" is patient and curious, and doesn't look down on the humans for their shortcomings, because she knows how it all works. Nice.
