Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was always a bookworm as a child and probably had read over a thousand books by the end of high school, so my writing style evolved under the influences of authors such as Herbert, Tolstoy, Hemingway, etc. Though it would behoove me to include the lyrical aspects of Iron Maiden as a significant influence; the song Brighter than a Thousand Suns, with it's veiled depiction of nuclear war, is an excellent example of the balance of subtly and illustration without explicitly stating the subject matter that I try to put into words.
