After a little over a year, I finally finished Terminal Sunset, the story some of you recently read a WIP of. Dying Earth genre, sun has gone dark, mass haunting of entire planet soon follows. Society utterly transforms, adapting to a world of darkness in which only constant artificial illumination protects humanity from light-fearing phantoms resembling recently disappeared persons.

Given the platform I mainly expect insults, at least make them creative/funny.

Anyone feel like beta reading this WIP? Sun goes dark, Earth somehow doesn't freeze, is instead overrun by shadow people/ghosts(?)
