LOL! So he didn't want all that blood and Dresfed's finger and face, he was telling him the directions! LOL I've always been told, if you go to a new country, world, then it's best to learn the language, not guess at it! Love it!! :)) Sandra xx

Io has a tourism problem for sure.

Comment from brenda faye curtis

Excellent

This is a definitely strange, but exceptionally original scene. I got a good laugh, and made a decision to never book a vacation on Io (despite the great prices listed online). It's very creative, very good!

If I had to construct a brand new language I would have such a headache. My brain does not work that well or creatively. You did a great job keeping up with the different terms, to the point where it started to actually make sense, or is it just me?

You may be part Ionian.

It sounds much like a science fiction character, the Ionian dude, and the speech sounds a New Zealander, the much up their vowels too, well done Bill, an excellent post, this one. Great humour that's "out of this world", well done, blessings, Roy

Strange one here just luck he had spare stuff to get him what he needed to get to his gig. Maybe when he gets to where ever he is going he can regain the parts he needs.

LOL! Oh no, not again. He won't have any body parts left. Where did this bizarre idea come from? You must know some perverted muses. Maybe they're Ionian muses... that would explain it. :)

Bill;
-I enjoyed this very much is as if I was reading something from Star Trek or the Outer Limits. You done an excellent job in preparing the reader to understand that this simplest language was that of a butler.
-The picture makes for the outer experience of this story and is very complementary and relative to it, also.
-Very entertaining and a good job making this reading experience fun.
-Thanks for sharing and posting this Bill and may the good Lord be with you always my friend.
Alex
