Metamorphosis

In a timeless instant, they understand it all. With neither form nor mass but only consciousness, they rise from the battlefield not even casting a backwards glance at the broken discarded shells below. A certain exhilaration comes with breaking free of the bonds of gravity.

nihil,

it was a great pleasure to see your contribution to the Short story thread. I read you story with great anticipation and it was fabulous. dark. real.

it is also a great pleasure to grade your story. as a professor, you know that a grade can be very subjective. as a free thinker i did not fair well in college when it was left to a subjective metric for performance.

Therefore I objectively give you a C, reducing your grade a level for each word over 50.
