TG Captions are one of my favorite forms of storytelling. There is no narrative fluff, no extraneous details, just the hook, the twist, and the climax.
Yes, there is some selfishness fantasy wish-fulfillment here, no question about it. And there are some dark implications of such a choice and what it means for others. But if it all leads to a better world . . . can the end really justify the means?
I've said it before Sally, I'm an old-time sci-fi fan and this is top notch sci-fi!!!
ReplyDeleteWould I go through a portal that was guaranteed to change me....well if I had any say in what the change might be I'd jump to the head of the line!!!
I could actually see this fully fleshed out (sorry) into a gripping sci-fi tale of Apocalypse and Salvation at a price that the human race must pay to survive!!!!
I love it!!!

Thanks, Kaaren - I figured you and Katherine would appreciate it . . . my sci-fi sisters. :)
DeleteThere is totally more to the story. I have a 2nd caption planned for tomorrow, and may actually extend the story into 2 more next weekend if I can find the right images.
Great concept, Sally! I'd totally be tempted toward that sort of selfishness. I agree with Kaaren that it would be an awesome concept for a full story.
