“
A beautifully calibrated sci-fi short which takes a seemingly silly premise and treats the characters with complete seriousness. It's fun and touching and draws you in completely.

We all need someone we can connect with and it doesn't matter if you are organic or inorganic in this powerful short piece by Jeff Soesbe. The characters each give the other a reason to try to survive even as all may be lost. And it seems that guilt, which most times is a bad thing, can be a wonderful motivator. I really enjoyed this one.
