Puzzling

An investigative reporter desperately tries to locate a scientist who may have made a shattering breakthrough in the world of biological science.

Feed The Fire by Sean McDevitt is a captivating short story, but I feel incredibly ignorant after reading it. I feel like I witnessed something amazing, yet I'm unable to comprehend what has been put forth by the author.

The fate of Dr. Corentz reminds me of some Norwegian folklore. Unfortunately, I can't make the connection to the doctor's scientific discoveries.

What am I missing, Mr. McDevitt?

As always,
