NaNo Novel: Here Falls The Thunder
Once again it's that time of the year. Time to sit down and churn out another 50k words in the form of a possible story.
As always, when it's done, I'll put it up here for you guys to peek at. For now I'll just tease you with the title, synopsis, and an short excerpt to whet your appetite.
Title: The World Made of Glass
Synopsis: In the wake of a devastating alien invasion, the last remnants of human civilization try to pick up the pieces of Earth's shattered and dying future. This novel chronicles their struggles as they do their best to survive in a world that may die, no matter how hard they might try.
Excerpt: For the longest time, we didn’t know the reason why. It’s strange like that. Human beings, of all living things, need to know the ‘why’ of something. Animals don’t care why something happens. They don’t care why the sun rises or falls, why the clouds move across the sky or why the rain falls from the sky. They don’t care why they eat plants, other animals, or even each other. They don’t care why they themselves sometimes are eaten. But human beings? Us sentient, sapient animals? We care more about the why than any part. Who, what, when, how, they are useful in a numerical sense, in the sense that they are data. Points to be recorded for posterity.
