I Hate this story.
This is One of Those Stories that just Goes On and On and On and the Longer It Goes On, the More the Reader realizes that They will only Find Out What is Really Going On when They Finally Get to the Last Paragraph or the Last Sentence of this Dreary story.
This would Find if the story was Interesting or had some sort of Plot. It doesn't. It's just Dull Lifeless Writing that Fails to Hold the Readers Attention.
Reading this story is like Plaing a Waiting Game. The Reader is just Putting in Literary Time until the Last Sentence Arrives. It reads like a really Bad Mystery Story that doesn't even have a Hercule Poirot or some other Detective working on the case.
And besides......Just Who the F*k is Henry Devers. F*ked if I know and F*ked if I care! What a Boring Non-Character to have as a story's Main Protagonist!
YAWN!
Now if the first line of the story had read......."Henry Devers, a Famous Space Explorer who has just returned from Mars, was THE FIRST ONE to leave the Regeneration Tank after Everyone on the First Mission to Mars had Died!"........Now There's a Premise to hang a Great Plot on. Instead we get Booooooooooring!
Now Let's Play a Drinking Game........everytime You read the words THE FIRST ONE in this story, take a Drink. By the end of the story you'll be Dead from Alcohol Poisening. But don't worry. They can stick you in the Regeneration Tank soon you'll be back on your feet again ready to Read THE LAST ONE again. ( Take a Drink.)

It takes the whole story to find out what the person is the first one of. It ends up a rather creepy little ending.
