This first chapter is all "set up" and background for and to the characters, but it certainly looks like it could go in interesting directions. A little more care in editing/proof-reading would be good as it is a jarring to see, for example, a plural when a possessive is meant.
I look forward to reading more.
EThis is outstanding writing with a ring of truth to it. Perhaps the author is a part-time anthropologist. The writing is in the same vein as Michael and Katerine Geer's tales.
But, how the hell could a caring author leave the story just hanging like this?
This story would be dynamite, were it taken to a conclusion instead of something akin to coitus interuptus.
