Exploring the background to events in my story 'I Wish I Might'. Started off as a response to the IP 'Tramp', stalled, and then brought back to life by this week's IP.

Many congratulations on this, Paul. As others have said, all good SF is just one footstep away from reality, and is also about 'the human condition', so you've captured both of those brilliantly. The bond between humans and animals is one we can'...
Oh Jean, you really are getting far more than your share of all this! The sheer absurdity of the fire alarm going off in the middle of the scan because someone thought the it was the button to open the door...under other circumstances that would...
As Rhiannon said, you capture the detail and the atmosphere so well. The story encapsulates so much about its time, and the human cost continues to capture our imaginations. Lovely commemorative piece, Paul.
