Jolly's right. It rare that a first draft ever survives through to final edit. But it's a solid idea, it's written well in the minimalistic style and has potential . I look forward to seeing it as it develops. Remember too that minimalism is one of the most difficult styles to master. It's much easier to use a bunch of words rather than to pare down to the bare bones.
