Science fiction shouldn't be written any other way than by skipping through time. EDIT: this applies especially to short stories and segmented novellas, because it makes reading the piece collaborative. If you filled in the gaps, you'd be doing my thinking for me -- what would there be for me to do while reading? As it is, I get much more out of your writing; I get to infer instead of absorb. Great story so far.
