Honestly I can't imagine a better way to tell this story than the 11 pages it already is. It's incredibly bleak, obviously, even despite the release of four of the characters by the end. This story leaves you with a lot to think about. About consciousness and the resilience of humanity, of human kindness and indifference, of pain, and of destruction. I really enjoyed this one. And Harlan Ellison's own voice is perfect for AM. He captures it so well.
