Very nice! I like it.

There are a few errors scattered through it, but nothing fatal. "Billions" in paragraph one should be singular, "billion". "Humanities prejudices" in paragraph three should probably be "Humanity's prejudice". Stuff like that.

"...the separated tribes of man re-united with one another. The first order of business: war. " Wow, very well expressed. Cool. (I think I'd have capitalized 'War', and the phrase "with one another" is unnecessary - less is more, y'know.)

Also, the circular nature of this piece reflects the BSG theme "All this has happened before..." Another very cool element of your work. Again, well done!

Write. Re-write. Proof-read.

I'm looking forward to reading more of your stuff.

RangerLord

I like it Gin Rummy, I'm very interested to see where this is going. Your first post was very thought provoking. Other than the few grammatical errors I saw i can say I put it on par with some of the published work I've seen.

I look forward to more.

Welcome aboard, soldier!

Gin, your first post of Chapter Two, "Ghost", is darkly poetic. Great imagery!
