I don’t know why I delight in Zakzar, Khaba, and Diller so much. But I do, and I’m loving writing this.

      Or, at least, they seemed that way… And it is possible, cruelty can be born of ignorance just as easily as from malice.

      Betting these guys are the cute dog-aliens or their predecessors somehow.

    “I don’t know why I delight in Zakzar, Khaba, and Diller so much. But I do, and I’m loving writing this.”

    The Old Guys on the Bench are a favorite writing method for feeding exposition, humor, and perspective of distance and history into any story.

    This war has come up before as a profane expression. It had to be pretty memorable to make its mark on Galactic language.

    I must say, Christopher, I too am dazzled by the prospect of the stories Khaba, Zakzar and Diller have to share on the conflict and their role in it. But that takes me to the question of how the Annins came to make war on the Galaxy, innocence or no. Which merely catapults me into the question of how the three of them got together, and whether it was before this. All manner of stories are here untold, though juicily suggested. I humbly await any crumb of the telling of any of them; it will make my next week more interesting.

    Popcorn fresh, ditto bitter lemonade. Roll film!
