I wrote 52K words on my 21st day!

From day 22 on I write till the story is finished. I have no idea when that will be. The storyline develops itself while I write.
Not everything I wrote will be used. Parts I shared here and with my children. They support me daily. I love tales so that is what I write.

The story tells about:

The last man on earth who created new life and fulfilled with it a promise made to the "first living".
A friend who turns out to be a ghost. Not an ordinary one but the ghost of an inventor and tyrant. This ghoul is not a "first living".
The "first living". They are stones and save all wisdom. It is unclear if they are "the elderly" too.
A voice that comes, interferes and goes but never shows up if you need advice. Only a sick mind makes up a voice he only hears.
Giants. They are so quiet and peaceful. You can only like them. They never speak, have a shade of green and glow in the dark. They fear the ghost's cold and turn into stone. The father (aka the last man on earth, aka the creator) created them.
A "corpse" in a suit. It is found by a giant, hid by the creator and found once more by the ghost. Something tiny claims to be a human and needs a hand to get out of the suit.
The newborns. They are the latest and last creations of the inventor, mainly sleep, smile and grow fast. The ghost shows interest in them and made a plan. If you like to know more read one of my earlier entries.

What happened yesterday?

The ghost is happy. His little monster smiled at him and he touched and even played with it for the first time. None of the newborns turn out to be afraid of him. The tunnel showed the ghost the road to WE. Here it is where he intends to start his new imperium. He is excited about it and will move his little monsters as soon as they can walk over there.

The inventor searched his way out of the tunnel and got lost. A road to the other world was not what he found. He found himself back in a room without doors and windows. He waited for someone to show up. After a short conversation with his mother, he finds himself back in the tunnel. It is time to give the first living what they asked for. Eight are carried by giants and they discover the caves of "the Wall" who shows them the way. It is there where the next hole waits for them.
