Nothing like a little road trip into the 5th dimension! 🙃 This is a great addition to our little TZ experiment, Bridget—I really enjoyed it. Nice pacing, good tension, and the paradox of no kids allowed but these incubated adults requiring "idyllic childhood" neurological profiling is really clever. Frames things in a very disturbing way. Love it.
But…” She shrugged. “Human error is one of life’s only certainties.”
LOVED that! Our stories have some overlap there :) This was a really fun and anxiety-riddled road trip with your characters through the desert. Nicely done!
Ahh perfect twilight zone story! It was like a combination of some of my favorite episodes. You're such a fantastic storyteller, Bridget. ❤️ You had me captivated.
Bridget, you’ve done it again! This was disturbing. It was great. What a creepy story that also raises all kinds of questions about ethics and human nature. So good.
Fantastic! To wake in an unfamiliar world, to not know how to navigate it, is terrifying. More so than being a denizen of that world and having to find your way? That’s the question…
Oh my goodness. I thought "OK, New Mexico, maybe aliens or something." but I didn't see this coming. You held my interest throughout! I felt their frustration at not being told what year it actually was. I saw an episode of Love Death + Robots where children weren't allowed. This was nowhere near as harrowing, but it is still a theme that makes me gasp. Thanks for writing this, I really enjoyed it.
Oh, this was beautiful. Scary and terrifying, made me think of Brave New World, but better really, and...oh man.
Thank you so much, Michael!
Ooh. Reminded me a smidge of Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan series (the embryonic vat part).
I haven’t read that! I’ll have to check it out!
I actually now want to go reread the series but … not sure if I have time for that!

And this...
"Because I got pregnant."
😂 I laughed out loud.
Thank you so much, Shane! That means a lot, and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I loved the misdirects and the slow reveal. Super good!!
Thank you, Jon!

Thank you so much! I’m (very slowly) working my way through all the stories, and I’m excited to get to yours!
Chilling. Hopefully I can fix my faulty neurological overlay.
Thank you! Mine is definitely defective as well.

Thank you so much, Sean!!
Deeply unsettling! This will stay with me for a long time. Excellent story and beautifully written! 👏
Thank you so much!
This is a rad story.
Thank you so much, Keith!

Thank you so much, Tiffany! ❤️
This was unsettling and beautiful and thought-provoking, Bridget! So good!
Thank you, Garen!
Skipping the wonders of childhood entirely and being born as "good little worker bees" .... *shudder*
Awesome story.
Thank you so much!

that line “how does breathing work” will stay with me. such a great way to describe panic
Thank you, EJ!

Thank you so much, Hanna! New Mexico always makes my mind go to aliens as well, but this story surprised me by refusing to be set anywhere else!
