"The Great Consciousness hadn’t been able to react in time, as its thoughts were slow and stretched out over centuries." - Wow! :) This is the one of the most enthralling pieces of fiction I've come across on Steemit so far. Maybe because it is on the subject of nutrition through plants (considering that I'm a pure vegetarian) and the story has all the elements that can keep anybody spell bound: The storyline, evolution, language used, topic, the emotions provoked! Whatever be the reason, I'm loving it!
