No money in it, but Scifi Lampoon accepted a daft story from me. I was struck by the image in a film of a plane suspended in mid air. Surprisingly, the film carried on without using this visual wonder, as if it was just a suspension of time for a few seconds. I wanted more, so wrote a tale of such. Scifi Lampoon is a new venture and my SUSPENSE story will be published in the summer in their 3rd edition.
As agents say, it helps with name "recognition". At my age this recognition phase will go on forever.

Best of luck with it, Geoff.
