Oh, this is so generous of you! Thank you so much for selecting my story as first place. It's an honour to be recognised among such talented storytellers. I'm also happy to have contributed something to your series. I look forward to reading the concluding part of The Last Sunset.
Congrats @alonicus, @myjob, and @eve66. Your stories are amazing.

You're so welcome @kemmyb. And I appreciate you participating in this exercise. I'm immensely grateful for the response, including yours, to give me alternate ideas from the direction I was headed. I wanted to explore other options in keeping with the end of all things as we know it going about our everyday lives while operating in a vacuum. Surprises of that magnitude are life changing in an instant.
I love the prophesy/warning from the vagrant. It'll take me a while to compile and infuse all the wonderful ideas into a final form. I was actually thinking of redoing the entire series, adding other information that spun off of the participants' insights. We'll see.
As "extras" for participation, I sent each of you some HSBI and added you as a beneficiary of this post and will do so on the final as a contributor.
I love working with others and sharing ideas. Thanks so much; take care, and have a good start to your week.

I enjoyed participating and so glad my story resonated with you especially the prophecy part. That was the Xi signal that Pope ordered Harkeem to send, a forewarning of what was to come. The Sigma part sets the time backwards. I know, our imaginations can be interesting sometimes when it comes to writing fiction. 😄
Thanks again, I appreciate the extra prizes. You're so kind. Wishing you a relaxing Sunday. Take care.
