Ok, my essential thoughts: this is a dark world. I mean man, it’s dark, depraved, sick, evil, black, and desperate. it is ONLY because of God that there is any hope at all.

The last scene was sooo cute, I liked it a lot! Also Julius’ internal dialogue and conflict was good.
I’m so glad. I pride myself with pulling off good wedding scenes. Good! I’m glad Julius’ internal struggle was good!

Ack, I thought you would say that. I’ve been thinking also of a way to develop a bit more with her. I’m kinda distracted with the other stuff going on and thought I would drop it for now and come back. after all, this is my very rough draft. But yes, she is under developed.

Ok y’all, next chapter!!!
Chapter 7
Marcus walked with slow steps back toward the City of the Dead. He had known that something like this could happen, but he had hoped beyond hope that it wouldn’t.

Oh I’m so glad you like it!!!!! No it didn’t come off as rude, I just thought maybe there was a reason, like you had critiques you needed time to think through or something.

Wow! That’s even more daring then me! lol.
I’ve been writing since five and didn’t even think to take a look on here cause I didn’t think anyone was awake.
I’ll have to leave around noon, but I’ll be writing straight through, no brakes, until then.
