Crime doesn't pay. I enjoyed reading this imaginative world in the far future. Hagios didn't know that there are no short-cuts in life.
It was one of those jobs that eventually led him to Earth. He was a space tourism pilot, transporting the wealthiest Arterians back and forth to visit nearby planets, moons, or witness breathtaking nebulas up close. Although it was a peaceful and well-paid job, one day Hagios decided to rob all the passengers on his ship. He abandoned them in a jungle on the planet Ensuic, and bribed an engineer who worked on the construction of ships capable of chasing through wormholes. And that’s how Hagios, with the equivalent of 1 trillion in gold, ended up on Earth four years ago. And he had no regrets.
I like the concise yet informative way that you go about providing this background information. You provide enough detail for us to formulate an idea of the key elements of the plot while adding richness to the world.
Thank you very much, I'm happy to read this because I really write out of passion. In this specific case, my strategy was to enrich the story with information because I didn't intend to make the story any longer. So I needed to summarize what had happened for him to end up on Earth, but in a minimally interesting way.
