Using my own method to fix myself I picked something up I have not touched in a long time, "Flickering Lights".
While writing it I accidentally picked up the "humans are stupid and can not trusted with power/freedom" concept and I don’t feel that I hit the "There is something bigger, scarier behind all this" theme I was going for.
Should I write out the implications and than drop the whole part with "uncontrollable modification"? That would not feel right for me. I need a way to indicate that it was not actually the humans who did something wrong, but that there is something seriously rotten with the anomaly itself.
Maybe I should tie the thing heavier into the "broken god"? But I think that would be to on the nose or just unnecessarily confusing.
Maybe it can even stay like this? I have some bad judgement when it comes to guessing how much my audience sees the same things I see.
