Hi,
I didn’t read this chapter yet and read chapter one. Unfortunately, the comments are closed. Not sure why the founding fathers do this. I find this Steemit feature irritating. Anyhow…
There is something very comforting in the way you write. It feels as if I was supported by soft pillows from all the sides as if I was lullabied by nursery rhymes. I don’t remember any author producing this effect on me. The more it was surprising and funny (in a good way) because contextually you talked about tragic events – asteroid, bubonic plague, etc.
An idea of time travel is always interesting, it offers a possibility, allows an author to make an experiment, to create a situation in which her ideas could be presented in a crystalized form. Thus, I am curious where will you lead us from this point.
Once little comment on your construction. If Squint would be working on a secret government project, he for sure would have to sign all kinds of privacy nondisclosure statements. So that part about him being naïve is a little shaky. I would imagine he could have done it after smoking this hallucination drug, or come up with some other plot device when Squint broke this disclosure clause unconsciously.
Altogether, an impressive solid work. It is put together solidly, without internal contradictions and It is surprising that I see so little up-votes, while some other much weaker novels have so much success. Yet thinking about it more it isn’t surprising. Reading your novel requires some degree of intellect. Also, you didn’t put pictures along the way to help imagination of Steemit readers thus putting too much strain on it. LOL
Will be reading the next chapter.
