Thanks for pointing it out. And I'm glad you liked them. I was not in the production of Peach Tree. They had me direct one of the other 24 hour plays. I can only remember two of the people in it, Emily Meisler and Andrew Billiter, but I was quite happy with how they pulled it off. Whoops, fixed the typo. Thanks for pointing it out.

(You did say to let you know about typos...) I really enjoyed the story, though it took me a minute to get properly into it--there's often that hesitation in the start of sci-fi stories, where you have to spend time explaining the science rather than expanding on the characters, which puts me off a bit. The flavor of the work definately reminded me of something I've read and enjoyed in the past, but as I have actually never read Le Guin I can't put my finger on it. Oh, a descriptions were beautiful. Esp. the Arizona comparison. Peach Tree is bizarre, but highly amusing and intruiging. I shouldn't have read it at work; had to bite my fist to keep from laughing. You didn't mention whether you played one of the roles, when you performed this at college. *goes to google images of peach trees in autumn* On page five of Cactus you’ve got “concentration” instead of “concentrating.” (You did say to let you know about typos…) I really enjoyed the story, though it took me a minute to get properly into it–there’s often that hesitation in the start of sci-fi stories, where you have to spend time explaining the science rather than expanding on the characters, which puts me off a bit.
