Does anyone know where I can find a print copy? I'd love for my girlfriend to experience the story, but she doesn't really know how to use her ears. This story was wonderful.

And i believe that this story is better than most on this site. not to put the others down, but instead to complement this specifically. Great detail, i liked the presentation and other than that it is all around entertaining to the end.... i had best stop before my Butt-Kiss-O-Meter goes off. but other than that GREAT STORY!!! oh and put more of your own work up more often :) Great work! I love it!

It had a great voice, and I loved the ending in particular. (I didn't see it coming.... I love that!) (and Paul Jenkins is a *great* reader) Thanks, keep up the good work! Steve:

This episode, being as unique as it is for a number of reasons, shows that you are more than willing and capable to meet the high standards that you set to the submissions. Outstanding work, both for your story and escape pod, and congrats for your 50th emission. I’ve been listening to your most excellent podcast magazine for a couple of months.

How does he not get on until show 50?! How does he not know that this here PodCast is the preeminent location for great stories such as his?! Have you been hiding his story in the closet somewhere? Great story, Steve. I wonder if the moral is that we'll all eventually learn to put up with the coddling of the society because it's good for us? or is it that we shouldn't be schmucks to one another? I think some other great philosopher had a similar idea... rock on. Where has this Eley guy been?! How does he not get on until show 50?!

You're a bad,bad man Steve Eley.
