Author's Note

An Epitaph

Reviews

[Samuel Dickens]

I remember that day so well. You've distilled it down to its essence. Damned heat shields.

[Delmar Cooper]

Thanks for reading, by a strange coincidence only today I found out Ramon was one of the Israeli pilots who took out Sadam's nuclear reactor back in 1981.

[Tomoe Tellez]

Whoa! Great choice of words, not many but they have a good impact.

[K.N. Lorenzen]

That's it?? I love it! I really do.

[Lyn Anderson]

I am not sure what to make of this one. Perhaps an expanded author's note?

[Nusquam Esse]

This is referring to the Space Shuttle Colombia, whose crew was killed on re-entry. I had but to see it was an epitaph, with seven names listed at the bottom, and dated for 2003, and it all made sense. Look up the incident, and the names of the crew match.

Okay, sorry, I wasn't connecting to a historical event. thanks for your help.
