Somewhat Stephen King style, you should check out a book title call Mr.Be Gone I think...I forget the author but the book was awesome. Your style of writting here reminds me of that story. I like how your descpritive without being over the top (because that just aggravates me personally). Please keep writting it is certainly something you have a knack for.

This is probably the shortest (in sense of page length, if you know what I mean) prologue/forward thing you have written. So I decided to read it right now and leave Pages for later.

Interesting start. I liked your spiel about reality in the very beginning as well, especially the whole spider web comparison and adding the hammer and nail thing later. Can't imagine where the title came from though. XP

Quin was telling me about this, vaguely. He told me you threw ideas around, that was basically it. Oh, and that he hadn't read it himself yet. Yep.

I didn't see any mistakes, at least none that I recognized. A few words I questioned, but didn't bother looking up in the dictionary to check. Mainly 'cause I'd doubt they'd be in there. I don't include every version anyway, just the root and some... things I can't recall the name of. That's been happening lately. Hmm.

But yeah, lovely start. The part about one of their own testing the theory intrigues me. So I shall be looking forward to that.

Great job!
