God I love this one. I love the clever turns so many of the individual lines take. I love that 99.9% of the entire thing takes place in about 1/3 of one second, while Carlisle is mid-air. I just love it.

I like it – it’s short, snappy and has more than enough funny lines for its length.

Heh… that line was the point around which the whole piece took shape.

A brief search of the site for “Carlisle” should find other stories, too.

Nice change of pace, Nick! Very neat, and with a lighter tone than some of your recent stories. Some great turns-of-phrase, too. “It was either his arm that broke the fall, or the fall that broke his arm” — very good.

You write the science-based real-world human comedy very well!
