It's a cool concept for a story, a world where people fully become one with the ecosystem. Sadly it's constrained by page count, with a lot more time you could really flesh this story out.

Perhaps if it was further developed it would be quite an intriguing devolution story, because it certainly has a good set-up and payoff in there, but at a measly nine pages it doesn't really have the breadth of time to stretch its legs and explore the concept in a compelling way for me. hallieday View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
