    Oh. WOW. I love everything about this. Post apocalyptic conversations between generations? Our current society--all of it's absurdity and corruption and contradictions filtered through memory like a ghost. It reminds me a bit of Cormac McCarthy's the road in the BEST possible way. Eickmeyer has such a sharp way of constructing dialogue: grounded, poetic without being too intellectual, and effecting. I want to see this produced. It honestly deserves it. Great work.
