Posted in Action, Bosley Gravel, Drama, Fantasy, Romance, Science Fiction, Short Story on March 20, 2009 by dunesteef

Javi Jelcor has lost his young wife.  He can either accept it and move on with his life, or give in to despair.  But there’s a third choice: take the body to Mars, and see if the stories of resurrection are true.  What would you do?

Also, Rish and Big talk about the unusual circumstances behind this story’s ending.  Was this ending more satisfying than it might have been?  Is a writer obligated to change his ending?  Is an editor out of line to ask for changes or make them on his own?  What do you think?outtake
