Oh. My. God.

I am utterly floored. It's beautiful, it's magnificent, it's stunning in its power and scope and desperation and I JUST CAN'T THINK OF A WAY TO FIX IT! I'm the one who always has the answer. Always knows the solution. Always finds a way to fix whatever the problem is, no matter how big. And there's just no way I can find a way to fix this.

Peter's right- there isn't a way for one ma to fix this. Not even a man with all the power in the world- literally. I liked the little twist you included about his powers. It dovetails nicely with the theory I've been espousing ever since the beginning of volume four. WHICH WILL PROVE TO BE RIGHT OR TIM KRING IS GOING TO HAVE A VERY UNEXPECTED VISITOR WAITING FOR HIM IN A DARK ALLEY!

Okay, that was a bit violent. Anyway, this was amazing. I love it.

This story was very angsty. It's so well written, as all of your stories are.

Looking past all of the angst and what-have-you, I enjoyed this fan fic because it is a commentary on a current real world issue (at least, that's how I felt). Humans are responsible for dramatic changes affecting our planet, and these changes have brought about positive and negative results.

Climate change is a major issue affecting the world today, and it's great that the world's leaders are taking action to address the issue. We, as the human race may have damaged our planet, but it is never too late to make changes to our lifestyle to minimise our carbon footprint. In doing so, we could save Earth from being damaged beyond repair. This was a Community Service Announcement. :-)

I hope that the world will not be bleak in 200 years, as you've conveyed in Empty Dead World. It is unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on what happens) that we will not be around to see what the world will be like. Hopefully, humans will reduce pollution and develop new technologies (e.g. electric cars) to save humanity, other species and the environment.

Even though your stories take place in fictionalised worlds, they always get me to think (which is a good thing!). Whether they about climate change, the downfall of humanity, or philosophising on life, your prose always makes me feel something. That is something that not many writers do for me.

I apologise for not commenting on your story as much as I could have. All I can say is that I thought it was brilliant, and left me emotional (as you can see). Well done, and thank you so much for sharing this. :-)
