You did great! I have thought of absolutely nothing, my mind doesn't seem to venture into sci-fi or horror very easily. I don't think I ever fantasized about either, probably too busy closing my eyes to avoid it! Your write is very creative and I can't shut my eyes to that. Again - well done ... CayCay

A 7+ from me here Nette, although I back keeping horse carriages in N Y C, things have to be in perspective.' in that case horses are not allowed to be worked in extreme's of heat and 'I think' its two adults and a child max load, in lots of other situations I do think man is too intrusive, I agree with this entirely..'
