I loved this story when I first read it. I made me feel wistful, like a world was dying and simultaneously being born. I can't explain it, but the idea of bears using fire has stayed with me ever since.

Is it me, or is there a subliminal message in the banner of LightSpeed magazine? No time to look into it, but there appears to be a changing message that flashes on and off to take the place of the "LIGHTSPEED" graphic in the banner. The only one I caught was "RESIST".

		"Resist" and "Do not obey in advance". It's just an animated GIF.

		There’s definitely something, I saw RESIST pop up for a flash as well.

I didn't really get it to be honest. I feel like something went over my head.

		Fair enough.. It's not really sci-fi. Just a quiet slice of life with a twist. If I may be so bold, this story would have sucked when I was younger, but now that I've been acquainted with the ages of all the characters, it makes sense.
