Week 4 - The Elephant in the Room

Listen, son, we need to have a talk - since you’re about to go into the city for the first time, I need to tell you the story of them, so that you won’t gawk and look like a idiot

Good going, and the last line just does it *giggle*

[streetnights]

-grins- Oh man, I was so worried no one was going to take the last line humorously after the serious exposition that went on. Thank you thank you thank you for that :)

This was really cool!

[streetnights]

Ah, what a compliment, coming from one such as yourself. Thank you!

You successfully got the point across of how we adapt and assimilate new things in our lives almost without being aware. Very interesting story element and I loved that you thought of the clean underwear!

[streetnights]

-grins- Well, I didn't want it to be too gloomy/serious. I try and mix in some philosophy with some storytelling, and I think the humor element fit in.

[streetnights]

Thank you :P I'm glad it worked and wasn't just a 'why was /that/ in there' thing!

That is a creepy world you painted, but we really are adaptable--I can see people reacting like this if it ever happened. :)

Which is crazy, I think, but at the same time completely rational. Humans are weeeeird.
