Thanks, I'll try to work on it more tonight.

I want him to be in his twenties, old enough to have some maturity and understanding and young enough that he still had goals for his life.

I will add the decaying skeletons in some cases, but not all. For example, with the people in the illuminated house, I will not. That way I can show that it happened recently to them. But for others and if I add more stuff along those lines, I will probably go the decaying route.

I'm not sure about the roaches and rats. For a time, yes, they would take over, but eventually they will run out of food, just like the people. So if I were to add them, I feel like it would be only for a short time.

As for the light, interpert it as you wish. I see it as a symbol of hope and safety. Without it, people tend to feel lost.

I'll explain what the incomprehensible is, in hopes it might make it easier to suggest edits. It's not really an entity, so to speak. It's more of an idea. I got the idea of it from thinking about the end of the universe. One of the ways it could end is called the "Big Chill", in which over time every star cools down and drifts away, leaving everything in a cold, near pitch black state. (This reminds me that I should mention this cold as a part of the story) Thats why I talk about light so much, it's like something is still trying to hold on. I'm also trying to use it as everything has an end, and that is unstoppable. We can dely it, fight it, or hide, but it is inevitable. I wanted to take those two ideas and use them to create something that couldn't really be understood by the narrator or the reader. Some of the advice I saw on this wiki was to write about things that scare yourself. Personally, the thought of the end scares me, and in the end that's how I started on this. Do you have any ideas for how to make these ideas more prevalent?
