"Our next attempt, Insulam, had lifeforms that viewed us as pests. We became their insects. Worthless things to be killed because we looked creepy and were annoying."
Thanks, Alex. I read The Martian Chronicles as a kid in school, but don't remember much. I didn't see the TV series but have seen tons of sci-fi movies and series. I loved The Expanse.
I liked the series, it's worth a watch, esp. if you are a Bradbury fan, albeit it might be difficult to find. I read most Bradbury and any other SF of that era. Expanse was cool, I did not manage to finish the first book, though, and now don't feel the need to, having seen the show.
Yikes. This was very well done. I wouldn't want to be Kate or Jack, though.
Thanks. Yeah, I don't think they were expecting that.
This is epic. No wonder you get Ray Bradbury comparisons! You watched the Martian Chronicles? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080242/reference/
Love this. Love everything about it, esp. this:

So wry, so funny!

I really enjoyed "The Thinning." One of your best!
Thank you, Dascha. Sometimes, I surprise myself. 😉
Whoa THE THINNING! What a spectacular and strange and surreal story! So into it.
Thanks, Elle. I am glad you liked it. 😀
Flashing on Ray Bradbury for “The Thinning,” Mark!
Thank you, Jack. I don't think I have any famous sci-fi authors worried, but I do think it is one of my better stories. 🙂
