Another little slice of my universe.

I've been thinking about my story telling concept a lot. You might remember my earlier little "random act of prose". This is in the same setting but from a different angle. Refining the world, and looking for an approach that actually produces STORY

Stylistically it reminds me of the "teaser" that you'd find in the front of paperback sci-fi novels...good stuff, but I'm a little lot unclear on the context.

This really spoke to me as an Arizonan educator: “But you can’t account for sheer laziness or other such factors can you Mr. Bailey?” The young man asked him. ^_^;

Context.

The context for this kind of discussion arising is implied in my first bit that I posted about this world. Remember the evaluation?

I noticed in a lot of the great sci-fi writers short storys, they would just start you kind of nowhere, even in the middle of a conversation. They expected the reader to extrapolate certain facts about the surroundings and the situation based on things implied in the text, or previous stories in their particular settings. Because of my last thing I wrote about this world, you know what they're talking about when it comes of "exile" evaluation" and so on.

I'm a fan of "lean" writing. I don't like cluttering the story up with mindless description, and I try to stay away from pure exposition as much as I can. But this is VERY hard to do, because you WANT to explain everything.

More snippets will explore more details of this world, and iron out things that are purposefully vague now.
