Would have made a great story adventure Pat, but a lot of hard work involved

A great rendition of something I believe to be true actually.

Jillian and her friends must have been flying, too--
...visiting in an apparently short span of time, Roswell in southeastern New Mexico, Area 51 in southern Nevada, and Devil's Tower, in Wyoming.

It's a beautifully written story - and as with many stories, one doesn't have to believe a word of the events described to nonetheless enjoy it...

Re: Adnohr....
There was an intermediate version of this story that included a "happy ending" for Jillian and her friends, a telepathic pleasure surge, or maybe it was hypnotic, for she could call it up at will forever after. Another writer on the Zoetrope all-story website collaborated with me on this one and another dark and dystopian future story, a couple years ago. It seems to have been wiped off the hard drive, though.

Hmm, yes. But will she ever do anything more about it?
