Hmmmm…in a word science fiction head originally inspired to write by Jack Keauroac’s work specifically ‘On the Road’ and other works of his. His lacsydasical style and his relation to his scene as a writer really drew me into the whole identity of ‘writer’. That and the fact that my 11th grade teacher said I had talent as a ‘creative writer’. I started out keeping a journal, and messing around with poetry and prose, and then I got real interested in film and so I tried my hand at screenplays. I wrote two feature lengths and bunch of shorts and sketched out ideas. But before all that I wrote a short adn that is what my novelis based on: the sci-fi short that I wrote for my freshman year comp. lit. course that analyzed only the Dyst…

The roots of genetic research were already bare at the surface of the earth surrounding the Tree of Life by the time Dr. Harold Manning had graduated medical school. All that any scientist with the know-how had to do, was to take it upon themselves to find financiers and continue the research and development on their own. Genetic augmentation, organ farming, and cloning of a human were all feasible procedures, at the time. Some technologies would naturally require more money and space than o...

Carrie walked tall down the street. Her dark shades enveloping her eyes, her tight black leather pants and jacket, and jet black hair cut short below her ear to match. She reached the corner of the street and waited, leaning against the cold concrete wall she checked her watch in the dull glow of the street lamp to see that it was midnight. The reconnaissance data that she received via download was screened in her right hand peripheral vision. She had read it as she scoped the streets of the ...

Suggestions: -this might be better as poem. -change, "Is replaced," to "It is replaced," or go ahead and make it one sentece like, "Cruelty melts, and is replaced". Seems to be aware and yet uncaring about it's contradictions, or double standards, making for an interesting perspective. However, it does show remorse at the same time, revealing the confusion, or conflict within. Good snapshot, but if you wanted to make it into something more, so it wouldn't resemble a poem, you could expand the...
One complaint: it's to simple at times. "His hands connected with a furry body and rubbery wings. It was a bat!" Maybe just my taste though. I thought the story was very interesting though, with the magical realism and the fact that it is a period piece with so much nonchalant granduer. I don't have much gramatical or structural critique to give mostly because it is solid in that department. I would however, like to say that the story has much merit and with a little more character devlopment...
A very deep piece, and very lyrical at that. The last stanza is adequate in providing the finality the poem deserves. Very strong very dramatic yet it never passes in to the zone of cheapness, shall I say. It rings true and genuine right to the end. However, it's the subtlety of metaphors that makes the piece a work of art. Good work!

I liked this piece a lot, although I think there is a chapter missing in between the Prologue +, and this installment. I know that you are female, but I wouldn't guess it neccessarily from the writing displayed here. Colin actually seems to think like a man, except for the fact that they haven't hooked-up yet. I don't mean to crude, but it seems like they should have already. I don't really know what else to say as I don't know where you're going with this yet, but can't wait to read the next...
