Luna - Weird and awesome! It means either the Americans were very busy on the moon, or aliens with bad memories wanted to remember what our planet was called.

When Silence Isn’t Golden - Poor musicians.

Stranded On A Deserted Island • Part 2 - Time storms! That’s interesting. I wonder if other people from different time periods will show up on the island.

I met David Cassidy once, briefly. He was very kind, unassuming, and friendly. Awaiting part 3 😊

As a legally deaf person myself, I can assure you that being involved with music is one of the things I miss most. Without hearing aids, I pretty much hear nothing, and harmonizing is definitely a thing of the past. Thanks for writing from the deaf perspective. Having said that, this would be a terrible weapon!

Luna: Actually, I like this. Betcha the first settlement on the far side of the moon has something like this! ⬇️

When Silence... : I had a friend (Tish) who roomed with a deaf girl in college, and they went to deaf dance parties. The volume would be at 10 and the subwoofer at 11 — the kids would dance to the beat. Tish learned to wear ear plugs, because if you weren’t deaf when you got there, you would be when you left. (I just found the concept of deaf dance parties fascinating, and as Tish pointed out, you don’t spend all your time shouting “WHAT?!” at each other because everybody signs.) So music would change in a deaf world, but still carry on! 😊

Stranded... : So from Amelia’s POV, this crazy guy claims it’s 2018, shows a record dated 1972, and jerky expiration date of 2030 (because: #jerky). Hmmm, okay, thanks crazy guy, but your story doesn’t quite work... 🤔
