Dear Cogitator,
This is quite pertinent to what is happening in Africa today. I feel what this needs, however, is more action and conflict. If half the population was wiped out I don't think humans would come together, bond, and respect Mother Earth. It also cries out for an introduction. Where did the virus come from? How was it spread? This is a utopian write that would never, ever happen. I initially gave this a four but am changing it to s five because I can't give someone a four who is so optimistic and positive about human nature. This is pure fantasy and not even close to reality, however.
Warm regards,
Winslow

Comment from sibhus
there may (be) some people
An unteresting look at the world after the next panepidimic, which the CDC believes could happen anytime now. I liked the positive sort of can-do atuide that your characters have, it so different from the typical style of apocholytic writing where evryone forms small groups and attempt to eat each other, or they spend the book fighting off zombies. A good chapter that was well written and the dialogue and descriptions well good.

Comment from emrpoems
very disconcerting in the beginning with everyone losing their sight and all the calamity that comes with it. However, the twist that you give later is encouraging. the people will regain their sight.
Wel written

Comment from dejohnsrld (Debbie)
A compelling and thought-provoking write as always. It is always good to see such info here on Fanstory. In my opinion (and Maybe I just get it) there is far too much Fantasy fiction. After all, truth is more intertesting than fiction. Thanks for sharing this, my friend~DEbbie

Comment from Nosha17
I liked the theme of the oneness with Nature, if only it were like that in reality, I can not get enough of it myself. I always write about Nature and her creatures in my poetry. I saw only one little thing to change, Para 7 should read may be.......... Well written story, enjoyable read. Faye

All future comes from imagining it first. This is leading to John Lennon's "Imagine." Thanks for your review and the tip...John
Comment from sweetwoodjax
this is an excellent write, cogitator, I love how everyone pulled together to work as one and the sight they lost made them all compassionate for each other. the leadership is coming together. I love the scene with the bees. I don't normally gives sixes for book chapters, but I liked the morals this one taught.
