Excerpt

This is an excerpt from a novella I'm working on. It has a working title of "Perfection". I only have a couple of pages written thus far. I haven't touched it in a couple of months, mostly because I'm not 100% sure what I want to do with it yet. This is the opening paragraph, a letter addressed to the counsel that decides the fates of many species across many galaxies:


Dear Sirs and Madams,

I am writing to you on behalf of the human race established on the planet Earth of the Milky Way galaxy. We humbly request a counsel to discuss the future of this human race.

We believe that our race has lost its vitality and is becoming stagnant. We are experiencing an unexpected epidemic of severe depressive states. We respectfully request a species set back so that we can begin again. Thank you kindly.

Sincerely Yours,
Rigel Nethers,
President of the Earth Systems
