Ensign Rod index

Years ago, i wrote a seven part set of very short related stories. Part zero was rejected. The publisher wanted action, not set up. Part one was published to a collection of these stories. Later, this collection was dropped from the Internet. The goal was about 1,000 characters per story. My goal was to get as much plot as i could in that short space. I hadn't yet read any of Kathy's helpful Slash the Word Count hints. https://kathysteinemann.com/Musings/word-count-main/ 
Please enjoy Ensign Rod, the micro-story.
