Chapter: Spring 1912, Third Class Citizen
Characters: Lam Len, Winston Coward
Location: R.M.S. Titanic
I sure do wish The Six had come out in the U.S. by now. I have a feeling it would help a great deal with this chapter!
If he’s a crew member, all is well. But the suitcase in panel two says he’s a passenger. Four bunks say either fourth class or steerage, assuming there’s a difference. Which is not good.
Why would all be well if he’s crew? Only 24% of the crew members survived the sinking. I also doubt he’s crew if he’s Chinese… but I’m making a huge assumption there.
Now that I’ve followed your link, I see why Yithro picked this particular person. Harsh as it is, he will be a perfect position for Winston to do the job, survive and then vanish without a trace.
Damn. Uhn, Yithro…? Just how dispassionate and manipulative ARE your people?
Damn.
Which also brings up the complications of body-surfing between assorted ethnic and class divides.
Meanwhile back in what passes for 2022 reality, can a person become even “more hooked” (hookeder?) on a story?
Well for Yithro at least, one human is as good as another human. This was the first (based on what I don’t know) available body. It just happens to be ironically relevant, because Twilight Zone rules apply.
I agree with Catzoid, I am even more hooked on this story. PLEASE print the whole story in book form like you did the first one. My 16-year old son devoured it when he found it on my bookshelf.
That is great to hear! I definitely have plans to put this story into book form too.
I can’t imagine being on the other end of this website and having to wait for each drip of story. Thanks for your patience and persistence!
