Great chapter.
Leaving the reader wondering why the unusually findings of the dead soldier. Strange.

Excellent way to carry the story line forward.

Excellent read.

Excellent chapter! I especially enjoyed how he explained things, only to the extent he knew. He was careful in saying he was surmising much of what he related.

I would like to hear at least a mention of the advance intelligent men, even if it's only to say the countryside around them is not populated so they are not active. A lot was made of appointing them so I hate to see them dropped.

One of the best chapters, Jay.

    I know what you are saying about the Advance Intelligent Men. What I'll have to do is go back in the overall edit of the book get a better feel for when to incorporate their use, or mention their non-use. There will be mention of them later, I know, but I'll have to give it the thought it deserves in the big edit.

I know they will defeat this horrible mysterious person.


"Very simply," General Doctrex, "the first thing I noticed was the total lack of blood when I made the incision, and later when I opened the stomach cavity. No blood at all. Secondly, there were absolutely no contents in his stomach, no undigested breakfast, nothing. And the third thing I noticed wasn't third in order of occurrence. It was actually first, but if I told it to you first there might have been such an--an outpouring of disbelief you wouldn't have heard the other two." (I am confused by this. If he's talking to Doctrex then it's written--"Very simply, General Doctrex. The first thing..)

    Is it the punctuation that confuses you, or the content of what he says? It seems to be whether there is a period after Doctrex, or a comma. In looking over what he said, I may rethink the word "simply" because none of it is really simple.

    I think it's the punctuation.

This is yet another interesting addition to the story that the author has created with this piece of work. I am getting into this story now and it is developing nicely.

A very reasonable chapter Doctrex debating the issues concerning the issues of the discussions about how the illusions are affecting the men's thinking and fears of unreality, well done with this chapter, Jay, I enjoyed it, blessings, Roy.

    THank you, Roy. Yes, reasonable. I want to get him past reasonable and into action. That will come starting next chapter.

Good night sweet princes!
I get it - editing in fantstory sucks when you got something long to say!
Well I eel Doctrix did his thing - he said what the men needed to hear - ad what he needed to feel.

    Thank you, Marie. Pay careful attention to the next chapter, starting later today ... and its ultimate effects on the chapters soon to arrive. Hey, stop me... I'm talkin' too much!

Magic falls short of being a complete weapon. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for an interesting read.

Hey, Jay,

Hocus pocus but the Glnot will probably change tactics soon, I bet, and instead of magic with perfumed innards, he'll be changing to guts and glory for his cause.

Getting interesting.

Cheers & Blessings

You just gave me 'two' pumps! Yeah, baby! We're on a roll now! (*.*)

    Really! Two pumps. I haven't gotten any of those for about a week. But, I got singles for 8 in a row. I mentioned it to another here, and jinxed myself. Thanks for reading, Jax. I think I had 3 or 4 chapters of his speech to the men. In the next edit, I'll have to chop that way down. I was starting to hear the breathing of my readers.

    LOL! I've gone a long, long time and not gotten anything. Grrrrr

    Have a good one. OH! Thank you. (*.*)

    Oh, Geoff. It's been such a madhouse. I haven't been able to even get to Dean Kuch about whether it's doable. Thank you, friend for reading my chapter. Now, the action begins.

I know, I don't follow your chapters closely. But every time I drop in I am surprised. Love the dead body with the flowers in his not human body. I liked it the first time too. Jay, somehow I think you are writing more than sci fi. Loved the poetry. Kinda' playful.

    I agree, Sheila, it doesn't fit, entirely, in the category of fantasy. I had decided a few years ago that I would write a Fantasy novel, though I had never read one and didn't particularly like the genre. I did it for the discipline. I think my psyche was telling me, whatever you write it will still be taking from your knowledge, interests, needs, etc. Glad to have you stop by, and give me that luscious 6 stars.

    Jay, I just think you would have been a terrific teacher. Maybe that is what you are doing now.
reply by the author on 02-Nov-2014
    Could be. Sometimes I feel like I'm taking home a stack of papers to grade. I was a bonafide teacher for one semester. Taught freshman high school in Santa Maria, California.
