Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair . . .
This is a tale of a monster, and of his ambition for accomplishment, and the cruel manipulation he used to attempt that accomplishment. And, it is about his ultimate failure, his downfall being the consequence of his own hubris.
Deep stuff here, lurking below the surface. The author's bio says he takes inspiration from mythology, and indeed, this story has a powerful mythological subtext.
Deftly handled and impressive, and an object lesson to those who might let their ambitions overwhelm their humanity.
