Story Idea

Intergalactic-Naturalist.jpg

This is an early attempt at telling a science fiction tale about an intergalactic census taker. A protege discovers his mentor is utterly lost among the vast star systems and the only clues to his whereabouts are these sketches and notations from a book found at his last known location.

The tiny scraps of writing are his personal notes on the flora and fauna of his last assignment.

The whole book is a compendium of the census taker's interplanetary missions.

Good Gawd, man! Do this!

I absolutely think it's the most original and brilliant thing I've seen in a while.

HEY JOAN

REALLY? You're reaction was inspiring! I think I can get to it pretty soon.

GarandFan:

Fascinating! I'd love to read over his observations on the flora and fauna in the ice regions of Tul.

Terwiliger:

Too bad George Lucas didn't have you when he was doing the bar scene of Star Wars (or any of his other non-humans, for that matter).
