Comments on: Episode 19: Not On The Menu by Derek L. Palmer http://dunesteef.com/2009/01/01/page-85-not-on-the-menu-by-derek-l-palmer/ The Best Short Stories in Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror and Other Genres Tue, 08 May 2012 19:08:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Mike http://dunesteef.com/2009/01/01/page-85-not-on-the-menu-by-derek-l-palmer/#comment-3129 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 19:29:21 +0000 http://dunesteef.com/?p=291#comment-3129 I actually liked the story as is. The dad is very relateable character, being a dad myself, I probably would drop $18 for a shake to make my kid happy too. Also loved the child voice, so innocent and joyful – great job! Would have liked to find out more of how the boysenberries got their properties, but the mystery also made it fun. Thanks!

Something I wouldn’t freak out if my kid were to read it.

Who knows, though . . . maybe the healing properties of the milkshake come at a terrible price.

The comments I’m seeing are a little bit on the “administrative” side, but the story itself is worthy of comment. Derek, this was a good piece. Fun, easy, and not hard to follow. I liked it…but, the mad scientist angle would have been fun too!
