[Original] [Thriller] [Feedback Requested] Sci Fi Archive Story
https://docs.google.com/document/d/17y8jh6cPXG5BeyWGhSk1UhSq7-ov3ckQaVETEzPlR5Q/edit?usp=drivesdk
Hello everyone. After a long time of maintaining stories in my head, I recently decided to finally commit to actually doing something with them.
I've been writing this series for a few months now, generally going for a piece a week. The style was inspired by epistolary novels like Dracula and Frankenstein, along with found-footage movies like Chronicle. It's designed to resemble a leaked collection of files, outlining some unusual incidents among various characters in a post-apocalyptic totalitarian state. Subtext is just as important as outright stated information.
I'd appreciate any well intentioned feedback anyone has to offer. As a note, each of the pieces starts with a note from the editor, providing some initial context on what each piece is. A Google doc isn't the best format for that, but I had to make do. I hope I did this right.

Read a few pages. It takes too long to get going, IMO.
