I was going to hold back and just let your imaginations run wild, but Chris was dead on.<br /><br />I originally wanted my pilot to converse with himself, so I had him carrying on with his shadow... a bit of post traumatic stress on top of worrying if you're the last decent person left in the world... I think it's ok to talk to youself.<br /><br />I love your thoughts, and didn't want to ruin the fun BUT I did. Sorry ;-)<br /><br />You guys are awesome<br />~2<br /><br />Angie: it's all good :-) I hope I can only get better... with your helpTomara Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185889402088565686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1070373468566489260.post-52150248892733908472009-08-27T04:41:43.340-05:002009-08-27T04:41:43.340-05:00Great piece of flash.

Intriguing. I like the thought that in a post-apocalyptic world the only survivors may be native villagers who shunned technology in favor of their traditions.

Maybe he's the last man, other than these two pilots. <br /><br />So if this pilot is correct, then only the paranoid fanatics might survive in their bunkers. That's fine. Let 'em have it.
