I took a stab at writing a supernatural Alzheimer's story a while ago, and it's probably the favorite thing I've written. Good to see a different take on it. :)</p> Great story!

Phil may be a great reader and his tone perfectly appropriate but it just didn't grab me. Back to the archives now, just made it to Sept 07.</p> Perhaps this would work better for me in print.

This should mean something but it doesnt... is this what we've become, a dull outer husk gazing inward... as the narrative finally reaches its conclusion i let out a soft flatuent sigh and shift my bulk towards the comment threat, eager to leave my fluid dripping trail on its convoluted recesses.....</p> I feel nothing, i can hear the author droning, dredging up inner meanings from the inner recesses of his soul and i dont care, die old man, go ahead and die allready… are you thru? what theres more?

Perhaps it's because having kids has awakened my sense of mortality. Perhaps it's that the story is -- I say this with no overstatement and with all that the word implies -- brilliant and that Phil Rossi is one of my all time favorite storytellers. Whatever the reason, it brought me to tears and now I wish there were a way I could tuck this MP3 into one of the folds my brain to access anytime needed for the rest of my life. Amazing.</p> Perhaps it’s because I’ve recently taken a second job assisting older people. Perhaps it’s because having kids has awakened my sense of mortality.

I think it's the first Pseudopod story that has made me tear up (happens embarrassingly often with stories from Escape Pod, I'll admit). It was terrifying too, so I'm really thankful for the hope at the end. Great reading by Phil, as always. Thanks!!</p> Wow, that one got to me.
