Patch of Gray: The Scientist

good good i think ill follow this serie :)
I like how you wrote this story. The indirect narrative (i.e. the lack of direct dialogue) makes it feel creepy.

Also, 'Patch of Gray' is a pretty nice title for these stories :)

Thank you!

Personally I didn't really care for this one, but it's a part of the series, and I'd do myself and my readers a disservice by not sharing it. It's tough writing a story involving so many characters and with not a single line of dialogue. I do not like it. The next one is much better.

The purpose of the "Patch of Gray" series, for me, is to write it from as many different perspectives and experiences as I could. It was really an exercise of creativity and attention to detail. Each story is connected in that all these characters are in the same world, experiencing the same major event, but they are all dealing with it in their own way. Each character has a unique perspective. This is also one of the reasons I chose to not give most of the characters a name. I wanted it to be as relatable as possible.

The bottom line is that the important element here, for me, is the human one. How do PEOPLE react to their environments, and how do they adapt to new situations? There's no better way to explore that than in a post-apocalyptic scenario.
