Just long enough to make me wish it could be a touch longer. I want to listen to ancient hard science fiction conspiracy.... Hmm sounds like punk rock. Love your writing Charlie

It's structured in such a way that I can't help judging it as a shaggy dog story - and by those standards it's fine but not great.

If the story is true it is disturbing. If it is not true then it is a brilliant, science infused short story.
