I traced my finger around the edge of the moon making little circles in the air as I lay on my back pondering this moment in my life. Looking at the moon and stars I wished I was some place else. Someplace quiet without any choppers constantly flying overhead. A place where mortars didn’t come out of nowhere and every time an explosion goes off in the distance you didn’t have to wonder if one of your guys, possibly a close friend, won’t be coming back. A little more than a two weeks ago it r...

Sons of the West Sons of the west why do you lay there asleep While the souls of our fathers cry out and weep They warn you and urge you to stand up and fight To counter with urgency your sad sickly plight But comfortable and fat you ignore the decay You pass on the bill that your children will pay Your race and nation mean nothing to you now You have shot your mules and sold your plough Feeling safe and secure in suburbanite places You ignore all the immigrants who spit in your faces Violen...

Sons of the West Lulled to sleep with lies and deceit We have come to celebrate our own defeat Sick with Liberalism we thank our God Chained with capitalism we all applaud As our culture and people start to disappear To the death of the west we are taught to adhere We have all grown weak with false successes We have betrayed ourselves with our own finances Race and nation mean nothing to us now We have shot our mule and sold our plow As we welcome foreign hordes into our midst We smile at th...

As for creating a cast of characters readers can care about of course they would have to read more about them first. I do however think that this is a great introduction to a story. It grabbed my attention right away. It threw me into the story and makes me pray for more to come. The twist of having a fifteen year old girl as a phsycic helping the NYPD is a really cool angle. I really like this and hope that you will post more here.
The story is very good. I liked the storm in the beggining it really set the tone for the rest of the story. I rarely say this but it was a little over descriptive at times and it slowed the pace down a little. The ending of course leaves the reader wanting more, I sure as hell do. I could really put myself into it. Great Job!
I thought the story was very good. Growing up in a small town myself I could identify with men like Timmy and the others. The story however was a little obvious in its ending. I kind of had the feeling it would turn out to be his parents, the charater being an orphane and moving back for reasons he didn't understand kind of gave it away. Still a very creative story none the less. I thought the whole headache bit was a little distracting but could identify with the pain and irritability that c...

It seems like a very interesting start to a much larger story. There is alot to work with here. The hereditary disease of the character, what he and his friend our forced to do to survive and what the future holds for them. It has a lot of potential and the description is just enough to help along the plot and does not take away from the progression of the story.
