End of the Vigil!
« Thread Started on Sept 18, 2006, 11:10am »		[Quote]
Yes, just like "Immortality" before it, Nickel's other masterful short story "The Long Vigil" has finally ended its watch!

A time for mourning as there'll be no more updates? Or a time for celebration that the whole story can now be read from beginning to end? It's a tough call!

Either way, you can read "The Long Vigil" here.

And, of course, if you haven't read it already (in which case, why not!?), you can check out more of Nickel's work in "Immortality".

Good question!

I no longer have the original files on PC (somebody hit the self-destruct button on my hard drive a while back!) but, luckily, I haven't thrown out any old papers in a long time and so I've managed to find some yellowing print-outs from way back when.

Apparently (and this came as a surprise to me when I found it) Page 8 didn't say anything at all ... anywhere!

Page 7 ends with the killing of Diana by Kurt and then, on Page 8, there isn't one line of dialogue or a single caption. (I obviously tinkered even more than I remembered!)

I did remember the effect of my changes correctly though. Without the captions on Page 8, the story is a horror tale in which Kurt has to kill each of his crew-mates in turn. With them, we have an extra psychological twist which reverses their roles.

I think I'd better save those old hard copies somewhere safe!

Okay, so I know I've already answered this but - now we've got all the original Portuguese pages up - you can see for yourself.

Oh, and that last one is here!
