Wow... I love it.

"Its call was strong. The god affected everyone, from mighty rulers to wretched paupers; from the cruel and selfish to the bleeding hearts, for its directive only required more, and its method slowly melted away other motivations--leaving their shell, so its adherents would not notice--until all was left was the aching empty need for more."

I especially like that part. Is this part of a story or is it the whole story, cause I am dying to read more.

Thank you so much! As of now, this is really just it. I'm the kind that takes things back out to play with again in a couple of months, but for this, first I'd need an actual plot. It was just a bit of angst about the possibility of ever attaining my pledge. Thank you again!

I really like it, and like scarlite I'd love to read more. :)

I know it was written about your pledge and the despair a writer may feel at ever reaching such a goal (I totally feel you there!) but I can also see a subtle jab at capitalism and greed. Very well done. :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment!

They seemed to share motivations, to me, in a lot of ways. I often find myself dismayed that I still buy into a system built on greed.
Thank you again.

More words. Salvation, or at least the hope of it.

This reads like the dream of a tortured genius.
