Eric asks, "what would you do if you realized that the world
would shortly end due to a cosmic catastrophe? The scenario is
possible, so stock up on wine and duck liver, however that's
spelled...when the world ends, all spelling errors cease
to matter!"

Caitlin Ball on November 5, 2021 said, "I remember watching
an episode of the Outer Limits crafted after this story,
it was one of my favorites and after reading the book it's
easy to see why."

Norman said,
"Originally published in All the Myriad Ways, June 1971."
