This is where I tell you how much I loved yours, and that it's one of my favorite short stories, period.

came here to say this

Thank you! "Omelas response stories" is starting to become my favorite genre of short fiction.

Just adding to the fan club symphony. Also, as an archaeologist, your Stone Sky series truly evoked the sense of deep time+ ancient remnants in a way few books have. Thank you 😊

I concur! It's such a rich story and continues to sprout endlessly rich responses.

I need someone to teach a class on Omelas and your response story and this response story and other good ones.

😮 so good!

Did you see this one?

And then I got to hear Hugh Dancy read the original and then your story and my brain has been absolutely swirling for days.
