Stephen has allegedly retired although his wife appears not to have noticed this fact. He is old enough to remember Asimov, Clarke, and Morcock but young enough to enjoy Melville, Aaronovitvh, and Beukes. He has an ongoing series of short stories set upon a post-apocalyptic space ark running in Schlock Magazine and this is his second appearance in Daily Science Fiction. He also has three issues of a comic set within the internet a million years in the future, Humanization.com, and would love to write more if only his son--the artist--could find time. Comments: Most of my ideas come from 'but what happened next?' and I have always been fascinated by what is left out of a story. This one actually came as a way of retelling the old George and the Dragon story for a story line in a series of tales involving science as magic and a six foot barbarian woman. In the end it was not a good fit but the idea appealed and so I rewrote it for Georgina who greatly appreciated it.
