Here's my first entry in the 2021 Scavenger Hunt contest. This is a further exploration into the life of Issa Antar, and was written as a Bright's Challenge.

Whether this does well or fails, it's been fun to write more about Issa and his strange life.

Explaining my novote

Although the writing is very good, it's just not the sort of story I enjoy. I understand what you tried to do, but it didn't really touch me or kept me entertained enough to keep reading because of it. I would have loved it if you had focused more on the aspect of everything you do and believe in being forgotten by everyone, like SCP-3000 does, that sort of thing really speaks to me.

Anyway, it's a great piece of writing in technical terms and I'm glad it has so many upvotes. Good luck in all your future writing endeavors!

The font is killing me on mobile, but the tale is solid.

How is this a Challenge as well as a Hunt entry? I am confusion.

I conceived, wrote, and posted within 24h and didn't get any critique, a la Bright's Challenge

This is not a method I would advise anyone do without serious consideration and a fair amount of writing experience.

Ahhhh, gotcha.

I did the same for my first article. It's definitely not for the sane.
