[CRIT] The Ghost & The Prodigy" - Prologue of a dark post-apocalyptic piece
Author Summary

Post Body

I'm hoping to use these first chapters to give backstory to the two main characters before the landscape of the post-apocalyptic world they're in is painted for the reader. I want the reader to care for them, if not at the very least know stuff about them, before they're thrown into this dark post-apocalyptic world. They're not necessarily flashbacks, as the characters aren't directly experiencing them personally, but instead just disembodied, non-chronological tellings of what their individual lives were like prior to the bombs being dropped. Please tell me what you think! Be as hard on me as you can possibly be! Feel free to point out the good things, so I can add more of them, as well as the bad things, so I can fix them.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that this prologue is VERY basic in regards to character development. The stories of this prologue are left at a cliff-hanger (are not finished, and after you finish reading them you'll be like.. 'so what?" or "..now what?") because even though this wasn't a flashback, there WILL be flashbacks that continue off from where these were left.. hopefully that makes sense.. Or do you guys think it'd be better if I just finished these 'stories,' of the characters, and used flashbacks for other memories etc?

Cheers!
