10. Lace Doilies "Death Time" (Un-Iverse #67)

Image
Rating: R. Strong bloody violence and adult themes, and some language. But it's become a bit unintentionally politically relevant so I need to put a big reader discretion warning ahead of it. We'll talk more about the troubling parallels of the issue afterwards but the sections of Vic Puff and his violence take on disturbing significance with real-world events. You have been warned.  Author's Note for Lace Doilies #10 "Death Time" (Un-Iverse #67)  If the last scene has the reader say "Hold up,", believe they misremembered something, and then go back to the Gilda And Meek "Groundwork" Table Of Contents to check for sure, that's the reaction I want. I don't want anger or sadness. I want confusion. I want you to say, "Hold up."  It's the WRONG ending. Not just because it's a shitty way to end the last issue of Lace Doilies. But because it doesn't fit the promised canon. Or does it? I'd check that Table of Contents

Not by a longshot.  The action sequence of Lance moving the ship around the comets, asteroids, and wormholes ain't no great shakes, but you can PROBABLY tell what everything is, (I think) so it gets the job done. Although as far as action sequences in The Un-Iverse go, it feels perfunctory, and as if it is going through the motions. Many Un-Iverse action sequences are boarded with genuine tension, but this one is not.  I suppose having the story give the Narrator a literal panic att
