“Justin Smith-Ruiu’s speculative fiction is consistently as sumptuous as it is demanding.” —Dmitri Bezglazov, The Oort Cloud Review Do you agree with what they’re writing about me in The Oort Cloud Review?
This reminded me of the claim of Wilhelm Reich to have discovered 'Bions' - "transitional forms in the process of the organization of matter from its non-living to its living state.... [sharing] common qualitative traits as regards to pulsation and motility, which point to their living-like functioning..." Reich further claimed that "the long term culture of organic bions, under controlled sterile conditions so that the possibility of outside infection (from air “germs”) is excluded, can lead to the development of protozoa."
You may dismiss me as a middle brow, but that would make
a great Twilight Zone episode. Love your fiction.
A Twilight Zone reboot, a new Mubi version of Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories: brother, if they're paying, I'm listening!

Such had been debunked as the observation of mere Brownian Motion. Reich still has his advocates, however, from whom I quote: https://wilhelmreich.gr/en/orgonomy/orgonomy-and-biogenesis/bions/
Terry and Sam are so ambiguous. The morality of their predicament, so ambiguous. Where chemistry ends and life begins is most ambiguous.
Sumptuous never presumptuous Justin Smith-Ruiu
