This is awesome. Super-slick writing. I love the idea of the Shacks.

Thanks Jim!

I'd love to see your feedback in later chapters. I wrote these first five chapters as a short story at first. So to me it feels like a deejay scratching vinyl going from Chap 5 to Chap 6.

The Stacks are based on a real place with a ton of shipping containers near Cape Town harbour.

I was driving past one day thinking, if a COVID-like lockdown happened and cut off shipping, I wonder if people would "steal" these containers and build a sort of Kowloon City.

I always found that infamous city fascinating.
