Reading John Hancock's short story, Amber, I had a lot of conflicting thoughts. The Christian in me was tempted to hate it out of pre-set notions established since I was young, but the scientist in me loved how Mr. Hancock carved the story out of a future and used the basis for a destroyed universe to his advantage. As a writer, I was enthralled with what Hancock did -- made me think. I thought about the implications of the situation he proposed -- what really is our relationship with God? Is God benevolent really and how and why is He required to answer our prayers. I thought Mr. Hancock did great with the story, keeping it short, but long enough to put our minds to work.
