Hi buddy,
Thank you for the read. I greatly appreciate it. I like to think that the story is about people being a limited by their circumstances. Lots of the characters can't make their own choices due to varying circumstances. Lots of characters are unlimited and lots of different ways.
I feel like part of the problem is that they don't communicate with each other very well, and I think this is the thing that held everybody back from being able to achieve what they wanted to achieve. Everybody spent the story talking past each other.
A breakdown in communication failed Lugus in the union, Dorian and Avery, Avery and his father, Therion and his kids, the people of Lugus , and himself. The people of the dome and the overseers too.
To me, I think the main message I was trying to impact, accidentally otherwise, is the importance of talking through your problems and effective communication. I feel like, even though it didn't go the way Dorian wanted, the one time Avery was able to convey his true feelings was the one time everybody got the outcome they desired.
Thank you for reading my story, man, here's to the next one
