I have to admit I found this rather lame. I could smell the ending from the beginning and you could see the strings for the characterisation. I respect it, and I did like the style. But it was predictable. Sorry. Hmm.. I have to admit I found this rather lame. I could smell the ending from the beginning and you could see the strings for the characterisation.

Manages in a short time to create a character who we are ambivalent about, yet we can shake our heads sadly about his predicament. The ideas here are remarkably well thought out, and seem awfully close to reality. A superb story.

The ideas of the prisoner are tempered by the fact that he's exposed as an inhuman prick with his disregard for human life. The tale is ironic not just because his idea may lead to his death, but also in that his ideas of saving the environment actually destroy it. He's far worse than the lumberjacks he endangered. Bruce is writing on both sides of the fence here and pulls it off brilliantly. While the story is political, I didn’t find it very polarizing.

I wanna sign up. Even more seriously, very good story. Bruce is always good for a thought provoking and unusual tale, and this one did not disappoint. You'll probably get flack for the political nature of the story as much as the first comment, but don't let that bother you. Thoughts and ideas are more dangerous when hidden rather than placed in public view. Do you happen to have the contact information for this group. I wanna sign up.
