The world building and sheer bloody brilliance of this story cannot be stated enough. Unfortunately, I have wracked my brains for things to say to do it justice and keep falling short. I highly doubt that @jordan.lesich would struggle for words the way I am here. He'd know exactly what to say. In short, if you are not following @jordan.lesich, I highly recommend you do. This is one of the up-and-coming writers of this generation and he's right here among us.
And here I am struggling for words. Thank you so much @thinknzombie. I throw out a good 95% of what I write. So who's to say that this story wouldn't have ended up in the trash bin with everything else, had I not received the notes and praise from you and @authorofthings. It's the hard work and selflessness of people in the Block that brings the adrenal drugs and crushed craniums to life.
