Thanks for the link; I quite liked that. But I felt more of Fritz Leiber in your story of a (mostly) living city than of ol' J. G. (That's okay by me, as I prefer Fritz, and I hope that's okay by you too.)
It's fine by me: I read Leiber before Ballard, although I hadn't read any recently when I wrote that story. I put most of my feelings about Boston as a city of water into it. I'm glad you liked it!
By total coincidence earlier today I finished reading the story "Tom Kelley's Ghost" (Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction July 2001 (I'm catching up)) by Steven Popkes whom I take must be a neighbor of sorts of yours since he founded and remains in the Cambridge SF Workshop.
We've shared panels at Arisia and I was actually invited into the workshop in 2020, although my health prevented! I'll look for the story. I do not believe I read that issue.
That story takes place in, under, and near Boston, and I think you might enjoy it. All this Bostonia helps make up a bit for my having to miss Readercon this year.
I shall try to think of other supplements. Most of the Boston-set movies I know best are not contemporary.
