This was awesome. I think what I'm really starting to appreciate about your work is the way it manages to surprise me - I never quite know where the conceit of the story will take it. In this case, the overall trajectory of the land-creatures (presumably us humans) failing to respect the balance long cultivated by the narrator's kind had a dread inevitability to it... but I was NOT expecting the implied cosmic horrors of the Sleepers and the implications they have for the world at large. It's those elements of unpredictability - those wild tangents - that make you so compelling to read.

I love this comment so freaking much!
Thank you, thank you, a million thank yous.
I promise to attempt to keep those surprises coming.
You’re so welcome - it’s really cool to find someone publishing such wild, inventive work on here!
Nice! Phyletic tree guided story. NICE read
Very visceral.
