I just ran across this, and believe me, I was only going to read a few lines, but then I get glued till the end.
This prose work set in the 23rd century I guess, and I like the word choice, the style of description and the point of view.
Obviously malcraft is a killing machine, and absolutely a tool to these people, it makes me wonder what the other chapters would have been, I will certainly see the other chapters.
These is beautiful prose writing, well done
