I dunno, it’s probably a personal thing, but I’ve always liked “YAY! Hero Soldiers” better than the all time favorites for school assigned reading

GUESS WHAT? Teenagers angst!

and

SURPRISE! The past (or what I skimmed of it from an encyclopedia) sucked!

I mean, at least the first one sometimes leads to a trio of ski patrol brothers fighting dinosaurs in Antarctica while two of them are snow blind.

The last three themselves are so dominant that even the first feels like a breath of fresh air in comparison.

Don’t ever stop, you lovable scamp.

Understanding how each of your characters reacted to each new aspect of the machine they uncovered I thought was important to connecting to them by the end.

And yours was the story that convinced me to buy the first collection at all.

And MOD 1 was one of the best collections I’ve ever read, your story included. They weren’t all the best I’ve ever read or anything of the sort, but I at least kinda liked the entire lot. Most other collections I’ve seen have at least one stinker.

And hearing your story’s better this time? Well, sounds good.

Love good collections of short stories, and machine of death had some of the best short stories I’ve ever read. I’m extremely excited for this one!
