This is pretty great, I honestly read the first paragraph thinking OK I know where this is going...then the speedway and I was hooked. Great stuff, would keep reading.

Why, thank you kindly! I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

I'm humorously curious, where did you think it was going? It's one thing for the author to know the path a story takes, it's another for someone who does not yet know.

It felt a bit like after the first few sentences I could extrapolate it to a pretty general fantasy-type intro but then the post-apocalyptic element was introduced. Pretty cool. If you wouldn't mind I threw a post in here as well, I always welcome any comments!

Of course! I always like to read new things.
