Why This Must Be Read:

This is a wonderfully ingenious story written for a brilliantly colored artwork in the 2013 SGA Reverse Bang. I loved both the setup of the puzzle and Rodney's clever solution.


John's chopping wood when he first catches sight of a dot of color in the sky. Actually it's more like he's chipping wood, as he doesn't have a real ax, and he's still figuring out how to get the blade welded to the handle. By handle he means stick, and the blade more resembles a triangular-shaped rock that he'd found on the shore after a hailstorm. It had looked a lot easier in those Survivorman episodes that Rodney had made him watch under pretense of subject matter importance. John had known the truth, aka Rodney's crush on Les Stroud's brain. Rodney had started out saying things like, "First of all, that would not happen," and "Oh, that'll never work," and then John would find him glued to the screen three hours later, taking notes, and recreating situations in the labs.

Elizabeth had once hinted to John that Rodney's hobby had more to do with John than with Rodney, and yet he hadn't made the connection until it was his lonely ass parked on an island, feeling a growing kinship with Tom Hanks.

Brilliant story! I haven't had time to indulge in the SGA Reverse Bang yet. If they're all as good as this one, I'm in for a treat :)
