    Nothing that includes a cuttlefish collective is as it seems to be...

    Max Tunguska? Of the Siberian Tunguskas? Unwise to sit under trees with them. Marvelous yarn, Indigo!

      Hey Geo! Thank you. And yes, I fear that Max and wide-open spaces may be a recipe for destruction*. Just don't ask about the dinosaurs, okay? Indigo

      * Of course, being with him in confined spaces is even less rewarding, unless you can open a window.

    How do British farmers feel about tourists appearing in the middle of their fields? Around here, we shoot trespassers. The Cuttlefish are right, but I don't think they're going to handle this isn a way we will appreciate.

      Hey Roxie! I was shot at in my youth by a local farmer, but it was probably into the air from half a mile away. It got the message home, mind. As for the cuttlefish, we'll have to wait and see. Indigo x

    Hmmm ... they seemed like such benign creatures. Now I've got a chill from thinking about all the bad they could - might - will - do.

    Your writing flows well; makes it a joy to read.

      Hey Jenny! Flow is important. This was much longer 'til I took out the bits (which I liked!) that weren't needed, and were making it clonky. Glad it worked =) Indigo x

      Oh, yes, indeed - it does work. Your comment startled me, actually. I keep (naively) forgetting that good writing doesn't usually just run out of the pen, it takes thinking and changing and "murdering your darlings" as someone has called it :)

      Ah, here's where I read that phrase, and this gives proper credit to the author of it:

      I keep the and reuse the ideas. It'd be a shocking waste otherwise :) So I don't murder them, but I do make up the spare room...

    Is that the tree from Shawshank? Either way, if there's WiFi, I'd like to sit under it.

      Hey Joshua! Fear not; when Max comes with you, there's always WiFi. I never did work out how he does it. Indigo

    Catching up here. I can't imagine the cuttlefish will do any more poorly than we've done. Perhaps a scourge of the human species is necessary. I've often thought that God should have quit on Friday when he was ahead. Delightful romp, my friend. Now I'm off to read the next installment.

      Hey Jayne! It's true, we're a shocking waste of space as a species. If we all vanished, as Jon Ostermann said, "the universe would not even notice." Did you know there's more bacteria in a glass of water than there are people in the world? Scary. Indigo x

      And thank you Jayne! A delightful romp? What a lovely description. Indigo x

    There are things you must know... ominous words, to be sure! Better watch where you're going, my friend!

      Hey Paula! I wish I could. Right now I'm more concerned (and puzzled) by the things chasing us... Indigo x

    I kind of like them. In fact, I think I could try to tame them....be their leader so to speak. I see it.....

    And great part five to the story!!!

      Hey Kato!

      Pffft, you just want to cuddle them!

      And of course, you have the t-shirt =)

    Loving the imagery and thoroughly enjoying the plot Indigo. Will our intrepid heroes be alighting in a lighthouse in Victorian England anytime soon I wonder?

      Ah, Clews! Too kind sir, far too kind. So long as I don't have to dangle from any high windows, I think we might... Indigo
