In deep space, there’s always some terrifyingly easy way to die…..
For Nidi Station residents, sighting a certain alien cartoon creature indicates their approaching demise. But is the little green man a true harbinger of death or is he simply an ale-inspired hallucination? For new resident Dr. Maynard Grison, who’s suffering from a severe identity complex, one more push is all that’s needed to send him over the edge. The question is, which stimulus will set him off, the wastewater re-cyc green ale, being shadowed by Marvin the Martian, or the talking floorboards? Find out in this psychological space drama inspired by The Haunting of Hill House.
Tangled Intersections is a very well written short story. I think calling it Sci-fi horror may be a bit off the mark, but overall not a bad experience. My only criticism would be the ending, mostly due it not fitting the tone of the rest of the novella, but still worth a read.
Short, sweet and not to the point. I enjoyed this story very much. Deciding if I was right or wrong about who was who was fun. Even though you are not told a specific answer to that question, I think the answer is obvious. Thanks for the story!
