IO9 made a list of favorite last lines from science fiction stories. It came out about a month ago, but, as always, I’m running on a back log. I’m still trying to hammer out the last line on my own story and my current inspiration du jour probably comes from Gibson’s Neuromancer.

The lines Io9 chose are pretty good too…
Adieu!
