I love this. The prose is excellent and not too purple, the conversations feel real. I appreciate the calm, unmasked approach to current debate topics (such as "humanity is a disease") — it makes the conversation soothing, like a long exhale, rather than blunt and beat-the-reader-over-the-head-esque. The font colours are lovely, too — I like how the snippets of the second story are interwoven throughout the conversation so that neither story goes on for long enough that the reader gets bored. Masterful work.

What is life if not the contrast between what has been and what will become?

Thank you so much! Thought I'd try my hand at something like this, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm glad I managed to pull it off.

Absolutely brilliant. This is one of those stories whose essence I wish I could capture and preserve forever.

The differing perspectives presented in this, from both the two old men and the second story from the ocean, is beautifully done. Overall a masterpiece. +1
