Read the Science Fiction Thriller

From the founder of Storymind

Man Made follows a mysterious force as it sweeps around the globe erasing anything man made - from buildings, vehicles, and technology to medicines, clothing, and dental work.

Governments stagger under the panic, religions are at a loss for an explanation, scientists strive for any means to stop or divert the phenomenon, and the world’s population from families to individuals struggle to prepare for The Event, which will drive humanity back beyond the stone age.

The Event is coming.

Are you prepared?

Too few scenes developing the emotional relationships and the story will be dry and fail to inspire your audience with sympathy for your characters.  Too many and your story will be sappy and will inspire nausea instead.


In the Exposition Stage you’ve already determined the manner in which each emotional relationship will be revealed.  In this step describe order or sequence in which they will unfold.
