The Daily Dime: Whales Commentary

So, this story is actually a peak into a much much larger piece that I've got conjured up in the more injured parts of my mind.

AND READ THIS AFTER YOU'VE READ WHALES! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! DISPLAY SOME DECORUM! kids these days...

It's actually a sprawling, and man do I mean sprawling, space epic. It starts about 20-30 years from now, and then ends roughly 3,000 years after that. Each Epoch represents a section of the future of man. In the first one, they have to fight their way back from extinction. The second one is the story of the displaced "tribal" man living on a vacated mars, and the last one is a sort of internal conflict with man with a much larger threat looming over them. A much more difficult to understand threat.

This story is great, and I want to finish it some day. The sights in the Whales story is actually a snapshot of a scene from the final epoch. These characters aren't in the story, but the final epoch is supposed to be this time of unbelievable peace and prosperity. Humans discover the Martians (who vacated mars before the Greeks were dukin' it out) in "The Black" as I referenced it. Martians are doing wonderful and miraculous things. It's a great story. I should tell it to you sometime.
