[900RedChocobo]

a great analysis and plot summary.

I think there's another side of horror behind Ted's (in)sanity that isolates him from the others.

In relationship to Ellen, she could probably be just another...hm, "device" for torture?

[Haywerth]

Well done, sir. Brilliant analysis. I would agree that it's not until after reading the story and thinking about it does one start to question Ted's sanity. I was struck by the fact (and this has been pointed out numerous times) that Ted makes a point of giving her race.

The video game has a "happy" ending... sorta. You can avoid the "no mouth" ending.

[ronbond2]

[mekillermaxi]

Methinks I need more Ellison. It just sucks that he isn't credited enough, since he basically created many science fiction tropes (even though he might be quite an asshole in real life) . Excellent analysis. You are one intelligent man.

I loved the story when I first read it and I loved you're summary/review. Very insightful. I hope you read this and realize how grateful I am to hear another persons perspective on this.
