Really nice continuation. It reads with a feel consistent with this solitary existence and the gibberish in his ear goes a long way to explain why he wanders alone rather than seeking out others. One contiuity flub, you have him deciding to head South at the beginning but then the gibberish is increasing as he goes North. Maybe you meant he’s just turning around now, but it still reads as an inconsistency.

Gotcha. I think this sentence might work better towards my intent: “Alien grammar gibbered in his ear; he noticed the volume and frequency had increased the further north he went.” Or something of the like.

It’s good to have feedback. IS it possible to edit stories in ficly? I don’t think so, but it’s a good thing, forcing writers to define their works before actually posting. A problem with me becaues I don’t do well when a story simmers in my brain. It’s like labor; it has to come out, and fast.

I’m dense. Finally found the edit button har har. Taking your suggestions into consideration, I’ve smoothed out this story and subsequent sequels. Again, appreciate the feedback.
