Random things remind me of songs all the time. Probably because I am a musician.

I can't write with music playing. It distracts me too much. My brain focuses on the music. 🤣

Wow! Such a touching story, Mark. It just suits my mood perfectly this morning. And those last two lines really give us pause. You surprise me, Mr Starlin. A lot.

Thank you, Sharron. When we assume a story is about humans it is surprising when it turns out that it isn’t. I learned that trick from watching The Twilight Zone as a kid.
