Oh, wow. Mr. Moon always kinda puzzled me as to what his shtick was supposed to be—it struck me as odd that Wondertainment would create someone whose unique ability is that he goes completely blind for a few days a month.

A very gentlemanly tone, but very sinister. Well done.

Yes.

"when I am faced"

A very elegant turn of phrase for an elegant story.

Now, obviously, there's no indication of any of this in the actual Mr. Moon article. I figure this isn't a problem, because, really, how's the Foundation going to figure out he can do this? I figured, as EndgamerAzari noted, that Mr. Moon seemed relatively bland compared to the others. This is my attempt to rectify that.

Glad you all liked the tone. I wrote this the same day I wrote Mr. Headless, slightly earlier. My third story for this collection came significantly later. It's also significantly later in the post order. It'll be worth the wait.

He's the Man in the Moon, I take it?

He's SCP-917.

He can't be the man in the moon because his face is on the moon during NEW moons when you don't see it.

This is definitely one of my favorites in this series

This one's just plain brilliant. Such a clever idea, and the execution manages to be grandiose despite the short length.

Well done. +1
