The Wheel by David Alan Jones

Post by Megawatts »

I always enjoyed David’s stories. This one has a unique theme about it, one that is abstract a little yet clear. The wheel, the mayor and the circus are all interesting but Marcus Paid is the most interesting.

I'm not going to express my thoughts about the story line, because this story can have different interpretations for each reader! I don't want to influence another's thought.

David always come up with a good one!!

Yes, I would agree it had a Bradburian feel to it. Excellent tale.

I, too, have been a fan of David's stories for a long time, and was glad he could join us with three pieces in Flash of Aphelion.

However, it's been a while since I remember a piece of his here... like five or six years ago... right?

Glad you're back, David.

Zen-Bradbury?

I thought it was wonderful until they put the little girl in; then it got disturbing.

For a while, at first, I wondered if anyone would get something out that they needed. Not sure how that would have worked out.
I was raised by humans. What's your excuse?
