@Kit: Should have called it “Nut-punch”.

No idea I’m afraid, nor do I know who’s reading it.

His was “exploded”.

It’s a good one.

I’ve only read the first few stories, and yours was the most shocking Kit. Great twist.

Listening to Yahtzee read his was entertaining as well, I heartily recommend that. When’s yours Mr Francis?

It’s Kit! Hi! Yeah, it might have robbed it of some of the impact if the prediction had been the title – I did like the lingering menace it leaves by being vague but specific enough to do some damage. I guess you’d also lose the build-up, which is pretty tense.

I can’t help trying to predict the endings – and particularly the predictions – in this collection. I thought yours was going to be nastier, or at least nasty in a more immediate fashion. It’s a good sign that I’m constantly wrong.

Thanks for the thoughtful review – the title was a sticking point from the beginning. Obviously if we went with the prediction itself, like the others, the nut-punch at the end gets telegraphed. I was okay with it, but the editors decided to go with ‘Fudge’ instead and I’m okay with that too.
