Hey Shawn,

 

This is an interesting story, with quite a bit of social philosophy thrown in the mix. As far as blindness is concerned, this is so fantastic that I don’t think anyone would criticize your portrayals of the totally blind. I don’t understand how their mapping devices helped them know about their surroundings, but it’s sci fi and there are lots of things unexplained. There is a huge time jump between their interactions with the aliens and their captain, but I imagine most readers will just fill in that space as they choose.

 

Good luck with it.

 

Chris

Dear writers 

 

I am writing to share my latest story; I am doing so because I would like anyone who wants to take a crack at being a sensitivity reader to look at this to make sure I am not being stupid in describing how totally blind people would function in the futuristic setting that I am describing.  I know how I do things, but I am a high partial type person and I understand that someone totally blind would have different techniques/a different perspective on things.

 

Also, if anyone has stylistic suggestions, or finds typos/mispellings, please let me know.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.
