Neurogenesis Prequel
For the past few years I have been working on a creative writing project large in scope, collectively called "Neurogenesis." I rarely have time to work on it, but once in a while when there's no internet connection available, it is a good shift in creative energy. I have completed several different pieces of the narrative, but recently I went back and wrote a prequel which takes place long before the main body. It aims to develop the history of one of the main characters as well as to set the landscape of the world in which it takes place. By making the assumption that the Greek Gods actually existed, it uses these mythological elements as a metaphor for the problems which humanity faces today. This prequel is one of two parts which precede the core of the storyline.
Here's the PDF file.
This short story follows a young man as he learns the truth about the Gods, and ultimately why they need to be destroyed. In core of the story, which takes place thousands of years later, the actions this protagonist sets into motion forms the centerpiece of the plot, as others join (and oppose) his cause. All that said, I don't want to ruin any more, so I will leave it there. If you enjoy the story (or even if you do not), please drop me a line at Zane@inZania.com
A final note - I just discovered that Facebook lets you automatically import your blog into notes in Facebook by linking it to your blog site. Its nothing new, I'm sure, but its pretty slick nonetheless.
