....wow. over on ffnet, I wrote a one-shot about exactly the same topic, but it turned out a LITTLE bit more hopeful than this one. XD this one was kinda cool - describing the bleakest fort of future possible, but cool. The idea of humans destroying humanity sounds...strangely justified.
All my love to long ago.

Great work! :D

Ah, another great story from Harley. It wasn't too angst, but it still makes you feel a little meloncholy. This story makes you wonder when humanity will finally cave into itself, which I'm sure will happen eventually. Good job and I hope to read more stories from you. Later!

Let all the humans die for their stupidity...

Let the Chao rule in their stead!

This fic is the epitome of anguish for an immortal like Shadow...

Well done...well done...

i wish there were more fics like these...

'...fell apart, like a dishwasher whose warranty has expired...'

You know, I hardly think Shadow would think to compare his ... acquaintances ... to common household appliances. :/ Other than that, great, well-written work - I'm not quite a fan of depressing stuff, but it's quality all the same.

Yeah, it would sure suck to be immortal. If you tried to form friendships and relationships your friends/lovers would die off relatively quickly. If you didn't pass it on to your children you'd end up outliving them (which would just be wierd, especially if one of your great-great-great grandchildren was elderly and you looked younger than them). You'd see millions of generations go by, the world constantly changing while you stood still. Like Shadow, I'd probably choose suicide, since it would be the only option. It was slightly depressing, but not too bad.

That was... Very like Shadow. Slight angst. Not to much. Although whatever happened to E123-Omega? Or Metal Sonic? Did they just deactivate and rot someplace?

This actually had me laughing in a lot of places. Especially the little snippet about suntan lotion nearly killing off the human race if not for cloning.

Really makes you wonder if something so trivial as that will be humanity's downfall in the distant future, but thankfully, most of us living right now should be good and dead and decaying in the earth's crust.

I will say this much, this fic was very touching. When i read this, i nearly passed out, it was that good.
