Freedom's Palace: Nature's Embrace

I know of a place,
a gentle, excluded place,
where time has no power,
where childhood returns,
where child hood lingers,
where imagination is king.
I know of a place,
an ancient, powerful place,
where the sounds of a rushing river lull one to sleep,
where the stars are as numerous as the possibilities,
where one can hear the very earth speak,
where a child, of any age, is free.
I know of a place,
where one can spend the morning a pirate,
where one can spend the evening a frontiersman,
where one can spend the night a dreamer.
I know of a place,
where the air is thin,
where just breathing fills oneself with vitality,
where doing nothing at all is more fulfilling than the most exciting day anywhere else,
where one can be alone,
truly alone,
and feel the sanctity of nature.
I know of a place,
where sunlight filters through the pine needles far above, and the sagebrush scrapes my legs,
where a table round can become a circus,
where a water tank can become a fort,
where I can be free.

Oh how I envy the frontiersmen, the explores, the pirates, the dreamers,
who had their whole lives to experience such a place as this.

Choices pt. 2

I have decided to continue working on Project: OMEGA, however I've also decided that it needs to be reworked from the ground up. The plot was weak, the characters flat, and most of both were cliche.

The biggest difference that I have decided upon is that OMEGA is not a one time genetic enhancement. In the new plot, it takes a more pivotal role in the story. It will work via an injection that will temporarily heighten the senses, adrenalin, immune system, and healing process. It will also increase strength and speed, and lower the amount of pain that can be felt while the drug is in the system.OMEGA is also highly addictive and dangerous. It can drive the user mad, it increases the chances of mental instability, hallucinations, heavy PTSD, and the user can easily kill themselves by causing serious injury and then running out of the drug. Withdrawals from OMEGA are severe and deadly. going cold turkey is usually fatal.

I am not entirely sure about the rest of the plot, but I have decided to st the story after an alien invasion rather than during it. This means that humanity will be severely oppressed, and that the main characters will no longer have the support of the world's military forces behind them.
