Given how delicious the cliff-hanger from the previous chapter was, I was almost reluctant to rejoin Bob Wesley - and he's easily my favorite character in this story. 

It's astounding how poor the fanatic can be at math. There's always an error in their calculations when judgement day fails to arrive on schedule.

And it looks like the the insects are fighting the same battles in this century that Maya is seeing.

Really nice cultural depth on these bugs. Pretty sure this plot would have picked up the Harlan Ellison stamp of approval.

Thanks!! rbs

Author's Response: High praise. Thanks. I do enjoy putting off resolutions to big cliffhangers. Maybe it's that whole pleasure-delaying effect. It certainly helps with building tension.
