Some "early" backstory that I made.

[EASyEightyEight]

You know, this is all stuff that should have been included IN the story, albeit in a shortened form, or possibly all that was told could have been broken up into multiple posts. It shouldn't have to be explained after the fact, unless there is a plan to explain it in a later installment.

The story written reads more like a timeline in paragraph form, and in hindsight I think that is its real problem. We get the "this happened when" bits but not the how and a brief explanation on why.
