A bit of story mainly held together by the gimmick of withholding adequate information. A person, a traveler of worlds, is walking through wilderness in the late night, it's cold, but just barely warm enough that it's raining instead of snowing. The traveler is drenched and cold. And hungry. Where is he? What is he? Make him not quite clear... He finds a sign that makes him think he is in ... a fairytale land. And then he sees a house in the wilderness. In fairytale land anyone who would live so much out in the middle of nowhere would be some nonconformist type who would by sympathetic and helpful to Him.

He goes to the house... and finds he was mistaken. He mistook the signs, this is some other place. (Kentucky? Or is that even not enough gimmicky withholding?) The people in the house are .... rednecks? But leave it just open enough that they might be goblins...? Nascar racing, deer mounted on the wall, redneck accent, racist... They are far from welcoming.

And he is far from the hero we thought...? But then the hero can kill 100 golbins and that's great. What are they? We don't quite know. We've gone overboard on this one annoying gimmick. He kills them most gruesomely. The man, his bitch and 4 children.

He is so tired and so hungry. The frig is full of corpses. Disgusting. Well if he must eat flesh it might as well be fresh.

They taste effing awful. He spits them out.

This is one of the corpse worlds. The lowest of the low. He takes out the device. Too tired to calculate. He gives it another random spin and departs; not able enough to care where he might go next.

(Hold on to the fear. Hold on to some mystery, gimmick that it is. Otherwise go ahead and take a polemical stab. Whoopee.)

Needs more fear. The "hero" is like an alien/predator creature (the phung) which is in conflict with it's tribal/primal nature. Like Drizzit but much more conflict (much more animalistic than drow). When tired he fails more often.

The humans are racist to his race (wordsymth!). He is dismissed but rarely if ever reveals how uncommon he is in trying to spocktify himself and rise above his animalistic nature. The gimmick of teasing the reader. The humans are the same but to a lesser degree. It's hopefully easy enough to see but never really pointed out. Tschai.

Mystery. Little pieces of what he is. The veganism is mentioned... But he does kill and eat them. He is so weak. But his weakness affects his mind more than his body, such is his race. The redneck tries to shoot him.

There is the constant battle in his mind. There is the discrimination he faces from the other races. His goal..?
