I understand what actually happened. Covie invasion of some city in England I guess.
Brute rips a dude in half in front of a...time traveler from the past? He takes it to be an actual Ape and blames it on...Global Warming?
Dude, what? |

Time traveler goes to future, some five hundred years, only he thinks its been five thousand. Sees things, assumes incorrectly that global warming has led to such indiscriminate warfare, comes back, tells the Dr. Time as such: that he saw no aliens invading, as per Mr. Hawking's warnings, but rather that warfare goes on in the same vein as it always has.

| Ok, I thought the 5 thousand was a typo. |

Nah. Twas not a typo, for intent played a steady hand behind every action of Black's.
Damn right. (I'm beginning to understand why Dave puts a picture up for most comments he makes.) |

wow, i liked it. it made me think and i admit i had to go back and read a little bit to understand what was going on in the story, but i liked it. it was interesting. i like your style of writing, its always kept me interested. one of my favorites is Medic! its good  and also, when are you going to bring back the seven days series? i liked that, though i could hardly tell it was halo related till part five.... of course you did have warthog references. anyways i liked seven days, bring it back man, i really liked the plot of it.

Holy... You actually read Medic!? Wow! That's like almost three years ago.
As for the rest, thanks, man. And I'll be bringing back Seven Days, soon, just to finish it--which would actually make it the second series I've ever finished.  |

| You wrote: | | He tried to think of all the wild animal segments on Dany. There had been kangaroos, tylapi, elephants, gnotterlings... but nothing about facing down apes twice your size, which had just ripped a man in half. Should he stare into its eyes, or away? Should he run, walk away, tread backwards, and stay? And in the midst of all this, the ape advanced. |
I had to let out a chuckle at that. Don't we all love to watch "Survivor Man" and all those great Discovery Channel shows that show us how to cope with the wild? This was nicely done, and it's always a good indication of writing skill when one can incorperate humor into the horror of the moment.
| You wrote: | | Green and brains slobbered down as the severed part finally completed its descent and fell with a slop onto the ground. |
You could have left out the "finally" part, as both words have the same meaning in context.
Gasp...
GASP...

More seriously, em-dashes, my friend! I know you like to write in simple word processors that may not support automatic insertions of em-dashes, but after the fact you can replace two dashes with one. No matter how small or big the story is, how funny or scary, it's always best to make the little things correct.
| You wrote: | | Black nodded, perfectly understanding, knowing how his strikingly brown eyes often captivated the uninitiated. |
The comma and following "knowing" was redundant, as "understanding" perfectly sets the scene. Also, I think it ought to be "striking."
| You wrote: | | Black and the woman ended up sharing the backseat of the Toyonda |
| You wrote: | | "for it was not aliens I saw destroying the world, but rather men, and men alone." |
Whoa, interesting stuff, Sev. I see your underlying message that despite popular science fiction belief, man's downfall will be the result of men themself, not of some foriegn creature. Sort of puts in perspective just how deadly it is to assume that in the future, our enemy will be something else. A few GPS errors aside, nice work.

I do have a computer of my own that supports Microsoft Work now, so yes--I'll keep those dashes in mind.

I meant this to be kind of ironic, kinda humourous, because obviously Black just about missed what is really going on in the future. I put it in italics because I imagine Black to be kinda pompous, and he would whisper something like that to Dr. Time in a stage whisper.
As always, thanks, Russ. |

Well, hence the term "underlying," obviously those were brutes, especially since your character actually mentioned that. If that wasn't an intentional underlying theme, then I should say "what a great unintentional underyling theme!" 
Now if global warming was the underlying theme...

Can't complain on this one. Another story to be marked and put in the Original Story bin. Russ said everything, pretty much, but I'm wondering - what era is this guy from? From the sounds of it, he's either from the early 1900s, or he's just a Brit.
Good work. |
