Aphelion

I can't quite figure out why, but this story didn't move me much. Maybe it's the pacing; not enough variation, perhaps. Then again, maybe not; we don't get much description of the way this soldier feels. He talks about his feelings, but they don't get described; their effects on him don't get described.

I think that's it. Stanley, go here and get some of this stuff:

It can only help; it can't hurt; great reference at a good price. Freebies on site too, but I bought the book myself and recommend it.
