WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT IT

This story is like Rays other stories, it is a fiction short story

I liked this story a lot. Mainly because I like fiction, but his writing for being one of the first people to do this is very interesting

One thing I found interesting is: that he is still alive and writing
