    Another great, I don't understand why you are not famous yet. Many of your stories like this one are instant classics.

      Thanks, MrIzzy. Glad you're enjoying so many of these! I'm too busy writing to do much work on getting famous 🤣 Even if it did happen, I'm not sure I'd notice apart from the number of views and subscribers on the channel. I'll still just be sitting here writing the next story.

      Thanks, Charles. One of the early early ones, and one I enjoyed as well. 🍄 There are a lot of mushrooms in the woods where I live, but I don't know which is which. Maybe the spores were in the air 🤣

    I had to listen to this one twice to really appreciate it. You amaze me everyday. You need a Marketing person to promote your talent. Writing should be your full time job. And people are ripe & ready for ot. What passes for writing takent today is pathetic. You ate the real deal. You deserve to be known & to make a good living ad a writer. Dont know what is hikding you back, but just push through it and find a marketing person. ❤

      Thanks, Joan Mary! I'm happy you're enjoying so many of my stories 😃 Part of why I am where I am is that I'm fairly new to publishing my work even though I've been writing for a long time. The long-term goal, of course, is to make a stable living as a writer, but I'm also not expecting that to happen without some struggles along the way. I have faith it'll come. Grateful you're helping me to get there!

    Really liked this one, but I like all that I have heard. Now, what I really want to say is how amazed I am that you are able to write and then record a story every week! I can often barely write a story a month, and sometimes even less. It might take me a week to write a 5 or 6 page story, and then review it, add to it, since I'm terrible about descriptions. You, Sir, amaze me.

      Thanks, Leah! I wish I could say it was easy, but it's not. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy every minute of it, though! My cheat code is Mechanics (my other channel). Understanding story structure gives me a clear roadmap before I start the writing part of the writing process. I also am thinking two to three weeks in advance based on the topics, so I have a very clear vision when I start. I often feel more like a reporter than a fiction writer. So glad you're enjoying these stories, Leah! Thanks for listening 😄

      @@RoweLit I would hope that you are sending some of your work for consideration on other platforms and Sci fi magazines. you deserve a greater viewership. I stumbled on your writing through isaac arthur, but that is a limited sort of super nerd space, in my opinion. I think that some of your concepts and world building could reach a far greater audience. best of all possible worlds to you sir.

    Don’t know if I can express myself enough (not native English speaker, probably already guessed it) but this story sounds like a combination of the Bible and the Epic of Gilgamesh. More of the latter.

    In the context of the bombing of a Palistinian hospital, and the death of chidren, and the compliance of the leaders, maybe I dont have enough left over for anythinh beyond Sushi/Battle.
    Well written.

    You have mirrored my pysodelic experience. At one time God threatened, to wipe out human existence. He was tired of our monkey ways. I begged for more time. Sighting that there is much good in humanity across the world. We are still on trial. Although I identify as Cristian. I believe, belief in the One Creator, and Love between people and species. Has great meaning. My thoughts are scattered, but my heart is true.

    The sad part of this story is that humanity is fucked either way: if they disobey the edict they get destroyed by the being from the 5th dimension, and if they obey, they get destroyed by another race that will expand and eventually overwhelm them. Luckly for them "thou shalt not take that which is not yours" is so vague and offers so many backdoors that I can see the 5th dimensional being appearing once again a thousand years later to give clarifications after humanity just kept expanding with different motivations like "of course I can build a dyson sphere around this star, its light already reaches the surface of my planet so I'm simply maximizing the output of something that I already have!". 🤣 Go humanity! Backdoors and quibbles are the way!

    Does this story tie in to the world of your other stories, or is this a stand-alone?

      Ha, ha 😂 Good question! 🤔 It was very early, so it definitely preceded even the seeds of the Battery stories. I think the very first hint of that part of the galaxy was the story the following week. I don't really know, but I'd say if it does, it precedes all those stories by many many millennia and would probably have to be located somewhere in our distant past 😮 Long before the twelve tribes left Kobol 🤣
