Sorry, the site doesn't seem to resolve. Are you sure that the URL is correct?

Must use the Internet Archive now: https://web.archive.org/web/20260725174355/https://marshallb... The author died.

Thank you for the backup link! I hadn't known he had passed, and I didn't expect the link to fail. I first read the story back in 2008 or so, and it's been one of those works that lodged itself in my mind so it's sad to hear he died.

It's previously visited for me and still comes up on Google for the story, so I guess the site is just down unfortunately.
