Post-Apocalypse Orphan

A FEELING IN THE LIGHT by Mason Engel is very intriguing, but also confusing. Obviously, this is a post-apocalyptic story, and the survivors have adjusted to a new way of living in some type of underground bunker, and the "currents" are a fascinating concept.

Unfortunately, the author doesn't elaborate on much, and many details are wasted this way. I think Engle should consider developing this into a full-length novel, or a novella at the very least. I'd like to know why Nolan is so different (I had to assume he is on the autism spectrum to be able to finish this story). I feel the currents could have led to some great secret, but their true nature is never revealed. Last but not least, Oni deserves a backstory.

A short story format is simply the wrong choice for Engel's creation.

As always,
