Up in the Citadel, we polled eight Librarians on whether this story should be included in the
database. The results? Nobody thought it should be excluded, nobody thought it should be
included, and eleven were certain it wasn’t a story. Probably. So with that mandate along
with the fact that at one point in the narrative neither space nor time exist and at another
point outside the narrative David Gerrold annouced this was an homage to
Douglas Adams and
Doctor Who, we hereby present
the official indexing of “The Shadows of Alexandrium.”
— Michael Main
If we had the time—well, actually, we do, because there isn’t any time here, just
like there isn’t any space, except what we’ve been creating by being here, all this
staring around—that’s making nothing into something.
