Short Stories 33-35: Mathoms from the Time Closet

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

re Tony's comments on the man being a German pilot - do you think that the balloon is really The Gazelle (with a woman at her helm?) or an aficionado who recreated the silk balloon dress (ie?- is there anything funny going on with time?) Is it a story of a pilot who yearns for his past glory or obsession ripping a fabric in time?
?
Also, as far as "Robot's Story", one interesting unanswered question comes from the entire set up - the children are "groupies"- groupies of what?? They are hanging out in Candy's house, but there are other Candies (how do you pluralize a name?) mentioned in town.? Are the Candies?clones/artificial constructs/youth icons?? Are they all the same that they can only be differentiated by where they were created?
