Good to know that vacations and travel will still exist in the distant future. You include elements of contemporary culture in a futuristic context that make it easy for the reader to identify with the characters. Nice teaser of a first chapter, Mark.

Thanks, K.C. I appreciate it. I suspect people will behave like people in any time period. And who doesn’t need a vacation regularly?!

That doesn't sound like a good start to a vacation.

Liz is gonna be pissed if he's not back.

Secret missions rarely make for good vacation itinerary. 🤣

Intriguing, Mark. A departure ( pardon the pun) for you. Nice set up to hook us in. I wonder: Have you already written this entire story or are you creating it week by week?

Thanks, Sharron. The story is already written. That's how I know it is six parts.

I actually had the idea for this story when I was in my twenties. I thought it would be a novel, and it probably could have been (or a cool TV show. 🤣) But a few years ago, I decided to make it a short story and finally get it written.
