Can we get a written version somewhere. I have a friend who would love it but it likes dead tree versions. I recently bought him Geek Fu Action Grip. Mur, Your story rocks.

What a fantastic premise! Way to make me choke up while making dinner and listening along! I've never been much for short stories, but you've made a believer out of me. Thank you, I feel lucky to have heard that. Mur, what an amazing story! What a fantastic premise! Way to make me choke up while making dinner and listening along!

I am enjoying Heaven quite a bit, and this story was a nice refreshing break. I have always enjoyed time travel stories, and yours was quite interesting, but... I must confess that from the point of the "twist", I was anticipating a bit more. The story ended with me still waiting for the other shoe to drop. Maybe I am projecting a bit too much into the tale, but I was rather expecting to hear the "other side" of the story. To be precise, how did Erika's life change? Perhaps not at all, at least that is what I infer. I guess I was expecting a karmic balance to be struck, where the Law of Unintended Consequences takes full toll. I'm really not grousing, although I can see where some might think so. Just letting you know how thought-provoking your story was and where it had my mind going. Chris Mur, thanks for your writing.

It's nice to see someone writting truly excellent sci-fi in 2006! If you haven't already, you should consider publishing a book of short stories like this. Alex Mur,

I thought your characters were well rounded (as well rounded as characters in a short story can be), and believable. Keep up the great work! Bill Mur,

I've been following Heaven, which I like but not specially love, and I must say that "I look forward to remembering you" is really an excellent piece of fiction. Very well written, indeed!

I loved it. I guess it was late in the day and I didn't expect to have such an emotional reaction to a podcast short story, but I got all misty eyed. Your other story about Santa was pretty good, but this is quite a step forward. I can really see you growing as a writer.
