Use of the occasional 4-dolllar word ( surreptitiously) and serious concepts (self-conscious, consciousness, awarness) leades me to believe that this writer was not grammatically challenged and the text at first indicates. I am a regular reader of Synchronized Chaos Magazine, which frequently publishes stories by ESL writers, but I don’t belieive this to be the case. Rather, it is a sort of “primitivism” style of writing, indicating a putative simple mind or youth or something. There were some prescient points made, amidst all the nonsense. Looking forward to more of your — perhaps more conventional — worrk.
