Great ending! I was wondering in the first chapter why the Ghost just stood by while the first trees were cut, and now I know the answer. Do you think the people will rise up against the perpetrators of this last bit of ecocide after getting this wake up call? In real life, I’m wondering if there will be any retribution for the engineers of LA’s destruction or if it’s going to more of the same ol’ same ol’.
Hi Larry, thanks so much for reading this whole story and for your feedback 🙌! The Ghost had to work out the best course of action.
In my story, it takes humanity 450 of suffering and great loss to finally wake up. I hope it’s not going to be the same in reality. It’s hard to pinpoint who’s guilty for what when our whole lifestyle and mentality are unsustainable. We must give up our materialistic mindset. The way we worship wealth and material possessions is unhealthy for us and for the planet.
Thanks for this mini-series, Claudia. Bridging the human/non-human elements of your fiction with The Ghost is a powerful strategy for enhancing your story and building an authentic world filled with conflict and transformation. Really appreciate the journey The Ghost takes in the short-circuiting and rewiring of its programming revealing an almost bucolic vision of the complex digital framework that exists beneath the surface controlling imagination and perception. Revolution requires sacrifice, luck, and constant dilligence in the face of overwhelming power. Keep up the great work and looking forward to seeing how your illustrator envisions some of these scenes and characters.
Thanks Brian, I'm also looking forward to the sketches from the illustrator. For now it's going to be only the cover, there isn't enough budget for more. But perhaps he'll include the Ghost... let's see.
I'm glad to read that the Ghost resonated as a character. You'll meet him once again in the last story from this mosaic novel. Let's see how his journey ends...

A powerful ending! The depth of human emotions that the Ghost experiences on this part of the journey is captivating.
Thank you, I’m glad the ending was satisfying. Thanks for following the Ghost‘s story. There will be more of him in the final chapter.
