A slightly redrafted chapter 1, as the original was a hot mess, all over the place. It was suggested I stick to one ‘theme’ (I’d interjecting too many conflicting threads), but once the protagonist realizes he’s on a strange world, he focuses on the observable world about him, concentrating on his rationality.
I still have to revise the rest of the chapter (having so many family over the holidays kind of wore me out), so there may be a few more changes coming.
