accomplishedKellis-Amberlee unified the world in a way that nothing had ever unified it before, or ever would again. Cities burned. Nations died. Tokyo, Manhattan, Bombay, London, all of them fell before an enemy that could not be stopped, because it came from within; because it was already inside. Some escaped. Some lived. All carried the infection deep inside their bodies, deep inside their very bones. They carried it with them, and it lived, too.
The Rising was finally, fully underway. Mothers mourned their children. Orphans wailed alone in the night. Death ruled over all, horrible and undying. And nothing, it seemed, would ever make it end.
RISE UP WHILE YOU CAN.

Question: if I collect and print this out as an extra to stick in my book (and mine alone), should I include the "when will you rise?" question after every scene or is that just a tagline for the count-down? Basically: artistic/formatting importance of that last line.

I was shocked to see it come to over 18,000 words and (in near-PB formatting) 54 pages. Very substantial. The most amusing bit was the fact that, as I copied and pasted from the internet, the name of your font was "Georgia". Still trying to decide it that's deliberate or not. :-)
