This story is seductively sweet and alluring. I really like the premise and the pace. The ending makes me happy. So, all in all I think it's a unique and great short 'Sci-Fi / Fantasy' love story / romance. And as usual, perfectly written.
Loved the story, the concepts and the ending.
Damn, I'll have to log in to favourite you as an author.
Thank you for being here :)
@Anonymous: It doesnโt work quite like that. Omena + nainen != Omenainen, Omenainen is an adjective, โapple-likeโ or maybe โcontaining applesโ. Anyway, Iโm glad you liked my story.
@yukonnights: Thank you! I like this myself, although I disagree on the โperfectly writtenโ part :)
@AnotherLitUser: Sorry about the trouble :) welcome aboard, I hope youโll enjoy the ride. Thank you for reading!
Sweet story.
You made me wonder about that planet's atmosphere, though ;-)
But how did he know what would happen? (And what did happen?) Or did her mean to float in the liquid until he died of thirst?
Sorry, not the point, I know.
Haunting. The setting is quite original. I don't know what happened at the end. He joined with Maya in a symbolic way because he shared her experience. But what she did wasn't the same because she could never get as far from the raft as he did. So was it only a symbolic joining? ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Very evocative. I loved the slow, lanquid pace, wrapping around one's mind like the water.
Touches of J.G.Ballard with his endless lagoons, and reminded me of Tarkovsky's Solaris.
