Gripping story. I am enjoying this as much as I am 30 days. I too noticed some inconsistencies. In previous chapter you referred to Sol and Tal as boys yet you have them as boy and girl in other chapters. Anyway nice piece of writing and would love to see this published as a book. I would love proofread the manuscript for you if you wouldn’t mind.
Thank you so much Steven. Yes, proof-reading would be terrific. Tal and Sol have been boy and girl since the beginning but
I don’t always get it right because I write totally from a mental construct. thanks for the offer.
And the compliment of your offer…
Semper fi,
Jim
Great chapter. Do you have an endgame in mind for your story? Do you find that the characters have a will of their own and take the story in a different direction?
Thanks Steve for the penetrating comment. The story is an allegory, of course, and your questions
can’t be answered without doing a disservice to the direction the allegory is taking…but then you know that.
Thanks for asking anyway, though and for obviously liking the story…

Once again you keep me on the edge of my seat with your compelling writing. However, I am somewhat confused. I thought Star had left Wren back at the control center with the rest of the kids and the wounded boy. Did I miss her joining Star & Jameson on their search & neutralize mission.
Stickler. Yes, you are correct and no there is no segue you missed or paragraph left out other than in my mind. But I need to fix that and pronto and I need to thank the readers like you
who make the work so much better by not allowing such slip ups of the mind and potential damage to the story.
Semper fi, and much appreciated…
Jim
Mr Strauss your writing is addictive.
Thanks so much Christopher. Your words and those of a few others on here certainly keep me going…
Semper fi,
Jim
I need to read slower. That was a great but short break in my day. I’m enjoying this ride emensely.
Thanks for the great compliment that comes through in your words on here.
Means a lot to me as I persevere…

Excellent. You are the gift that just keeps on giving!
Thanks Jack, I am pleased to read your comment. The compliments I get on here are almost enough to keep me going alone.
Then there is life itself and nights…and the family that gets a bit uncomfortable with me being uncomfortable…

Quick time on the new segment! One has to wonder how much the others had learned from the other computer system. What locks were dependent on electric could also help or hinder from destroying the node. Hopefully their guide gets them to safety.
Interesting story. The facility that generated it was even more interesting and I wish I’d had
some sort of visual recording device the one time I went down inside of it. The place is always denied
by all the usual agencies. I understand. I wonder what it is like down there today, or did they
fill it up and move on?
Semper fi,
Jim
