Oh, I'm too late to upvote and resteem - this is golden!! This is literally as great as classics from the so-called Golden Age of Science Fiction! I am smitten! Have you offered it to @isleofwrite for curation for possible inclusion in the upcoming anthology of Steemit original short stories? This may not be 1500 or more words (just guessing, I'd say it is), but you have represented the talent and creativity of Steemians. Bravo!
