Vignettes

    


     This speculative piece is an addendum to The Thoraxian Incident.  In the pdf linked below I recorded the cogent reminiscences of a number of the characters in said piece.  These entries are in addition to the personal musings of the characters Edna and Florence in the main novel. Esme Meadow's personal experiences constitute the bulk of the novel, so additions to that were not necessary.  Warning.  The Thoraxian Incident absolutely must be read before this piece for it to make any sense at all.

     This story also includes the reminiscences of Janice, Edda's best female friend at the ballet company, which are unrelated to the happenings in TTI.  Her story was cut short in the strip and she subsequently disappeared completely.  I fleshed out what might have happened to her budding romance with the photographer Gill.  The final entry is the thoughts of Thorax (Bill) himself.  The same cautions about the highly erotic nature of this piece apply as they did with the novel, only more so.
