Zaratorio: The Story Continues
'Zaratorio: The Story Continues' is a political parable dedicated in general to everyone who believes in #PeaceinUkraine and who says #NoToWar. More specifically, it is written in support of the brave and generous women and men of Medecins Sans Frontiers/Doctors Without Borders.
As the title implies, there are several other Zaratorio tales on Wattpad. The current story begins with Professor Amber Jessop seeking to escape from 'the far future' - at least a googol of solar years beyond the present day. More generally, 'Zaratorio: The Story Continues' was originally set in Kyiv in 2021 CE, at various other points in Ukrainian history as well as in 'the far future'. However, the organisation led by Jessop has recently relocated to "KyivTwo": a semi-holographic entity outside the usual rules of time and space.
I continue to support the medical charity, Médecins Sans Frontières, so you can copy and paste their donation page at the end of each part/chapter.
There is usually one episode every week, but the serial is currently DISRUPTED due to family illness. I have kept it alive by adding some chapter headings that did not occur in the original versions. I will try and add some very short chapters in 2025.
For a while this serial had a 'mature' label, but as the references to sexual activity are far from explicit, and not very numerous, I decided to drop that label.
The text of this story is entirely my own composition. The various illustrations are generally based on photographs that are in the public domain or from what appear to be long neglected websites. If any reader believes that I have violated their copyright, please feel free to contact me, although - given that my purpose is philanthropic (to encourage donations to MSF) - I hope that you will feel charitable towards me. However, from episode 58 onwards, some of the illustrations are and will be my own AI creations!
