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?

Conclusion


Archetypes can be seen simply as families of consideration within our own minds.  They can be seen as categories of character elements – basic building blocks of our psychologies that can be combined and assembled in a complex ways.  They can be seen the foundations of our personalities and as stereotypes, wrapped in the obscurity of role, position and purpose.


In the end, archetypes are no more than convenient constructs with which to ensure the full compliment of human qualities are represented in a story and no less than avatars for the largest components of our hearts and minds.
