| I read your story on the fan fiction.net and I found it pleasingly dark and depressing, quite similar to Issac Asimov's I, Robot story. I got that tinge of shame at the end, for being human in general. Ach, curse us humanity for disposing of what we don't understand! |

Actually, Asimov's I, Robot was a collection of short stories spanning many, many years, not just a single individual narrative. They could be compared, storytelling wise, to Bradbury's Martian Chronicles in how they tell the overall narrative through short stories strung together via a similar theme.
Curse not humanity for what they cannot understand, but pray for understanding, so we may go forth in the search of knowledge without ignorant hindrance. |

Or, y'know... just don't be ignorant, and join the pedant's revolt. 
Anyway, I like this: you've done well to make this... how can I describe it... fable-like. There are no "characters" as such, but it's still a strong story. Grammar and spelling are impeccable as always, and I really can't see anything wrong with it.
Good work!
