Great story!

Love that ending. Really great story.

One of the more emotional entries and big points for adherence to the theme. What do you do in a situation like that?

Wish I had not read the comments before, as Enemy Mine movie reference really jumped out at me after that (though not in a bad way as this was well executed), also appreciated how the lack of common language was handled (so no ST universal translation) yet keeping the fact that both were from intelligent species, very well done!

I enjoyed this. It kind of reminded me a little of an old sci-fi film called Enemy Mine.

Developer

That's a good movie. A friend pointed that out too when I was writing, so I decided to throw in a reference.

Very well put together, the resolution made me giggle. I really like these tightly framed vignettes.

This is one of my favorites so far! There's some minor grammatical stuff I'd fix (but that's just nitpicking and doesn't detract from the flow of the story). It doesn't feel like it's cramming too much or too little into 1000 words, I really appreciated the tight character focus, and the art at the end was charming.

Developer

Thank you! If it's not inconvenient, can you point out where the grammatical errors are? I probably missed a few things in my reread.

Tales instead of tails for the coin flip was the most obvious one.

Developer

Ouch, I don't even know how I missed that.
