Great Job! Since this is your second "chapter" of this, I will give you an option. You can either continue this project and write a third "chapter", or you can start a mini assignment. The prompt for the mini assignment is: write of the habits of humanity you find strange. Tell your story through a character who is foreign to these habits. (could be from another planet, a different country, culture..) For this next assignment, I want for you to write in present tense. For example, the sentences "His thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise. Suddenly, the whole building was on fire, ablaze." could be re-written in the present tense as. "His thoughts are interrupted by a loud noise. Suddenly, the whole building is on fire, ablaze."
By the way, I love your background!
