immortality

Post by TheLordMaximus »

Immortality . . . a daunting prospect. However, I have mastered it, controlled it. I cannot die. But, to give this to the rest of the human race . . . no. there are too many people out there who could do inconceivable damage to the universe. I have destroyed the formula, taken or destroyed my tools, and have left aboard my ship, the Socrates, and have set out to explore eternity beyond mankind.
I am centuries ahead of my time: my automatons are living being in every way except flesh and blood; my A.I., Jackson, is nearly as smart as I am. The Socrates is greater than any ship to be made by man, the archetype of the Pyrothrust engine in its stomach, almost two miles from helm to stern. Eventually, I know this ship would appear to be unusually small, but no craft will be as reliable as Socrates.
Today, I gaze into the endless heavens, knowing I will be able to go infinitely out there, and see every wonder of this universe, and of all of them beyond.
Greetings, fellow traveler! the honor of meeting you is mine.

I am an atheist and am proud of it. If your beliefs are different than mine, send me a private message explaining why; however, don't send me a message full of #$@&! and give and logical explanation forwhy you believe the way you do.

I am not giving it a 10. This work has potential, but there is little to know setting or characterization, the crucial elements to make a story stand out. But I'm not saying it's terrible, just that it needs some improvements here and there.

I agree with Espthec, as well. It seems as if you could go into more detail work on grammar and punctuation. Not being rude or critical, just helping a bit.
