Some of us have no place to go, and no one with whom to go. Instead, when extinction arrives we make the best of our failure to plan, but cower at what may be salvation knocking on the door. "The Remiss" is the darkest of several sequels that follow the original "eRATicated."

We are routinely forced to examine the extinction of mankind from one cause or the other. This time it happened, but not like they told us it would. Our "end of the world" came from the most unlikely source. This vignette explores the day when civilization fell from the welcome eradication of the rat.

Good story and premise. I think it could use a stronger ending to follow the climax. And it seems a little old for a children's book, but I enjoyed it.

A nice little story that seems to be a part of a larger project--or if it is not, it probably should be. A very nice illustration is included that greatly adds to the story. I hope you build a book around it with more illustrations.

Interesting story. Well written but still needs a bit of editing. What about a remote shutoff? I look forward to reading your other short stories.

I enjoyed the story. The ending surprised me. I guess I was expecting something more sinister and I was a bit anxious waiting for it. It was good nonetheless.

The Man

Good story and great visualization. At first I tired of what I felt was overused descriptions, but as the story progressed I could see that it fit very nicely with the rhythm of the recurring--and poetic--description of the seated Man. Alas, there is no 4.5 stars so I'm relegated to 4.

An entertaining story. It was fun seeing what would happen with the next push of the button. I enjoyed it.
