Tremendously creepy, the highest form of praise...at least for this kind of story. I strive to construct a different kind of story, starting with a sort of "gedankenexperiment" (a physics term, thought experiment, invented by some guy named Einstein), create a scenario, then ask what has to be realistic to lead to that result, and finally build a story around it. Where does the line cross into fantasy? Maybe someone else can answer; I have no idea. Maybe there is no line....
