The story is presented in third person omniscient, in the sense that we hear what everyone is feeling and thinking, but not from just one person's point of view . We are drawn into this story of science, Native American mystery and the unknown. Different from the first, this story only has four characters; Miss Dow (the antagonist), Dr. Santell (the protagonist), the bleeding man (Native American spirit), and his uncle Nahtari. Craig Strete attracts his readers by using a scientific laboratory, complete with offices and observation rooms. As I started reading this story, I made the connection to The X-Files mixed with Law & Order. Strete uses wonderful ilteration to help the reader make these connections and paint a mental picture to follow throughout the piece. “The young man, tall and well-muscled, stood in the middle of the room. He was naked. Her uncut black hair fell to the small of her back. His chest was open with a gaping wound that was bleeding profusely; his legs and stomach were soaked with blood” (Zipes 1040). As a reader, you can begin to see this, and then the questions begin to form. Who is he? Where does it come from? How was he injured and how is he still alive? This is how the author uses suspense to thicken the plot and attract the reader. As Miss Dow strives to learn more about the man, she and Dr. Santell fight. She comes from government and is only interested in facts and appropriate action. Dr. Santell, on the other hand, has become emotionally connected to the man, to the extent that he has cared for him over the past seven years. The struggle between the two continues to intensify as the story progresses. Dr. Santell begins to see and understand his plan, to kill him and dissect him to regenerate the tissues. This idea, tissue regeneration, is part of what brings this story into another world as it would be. At the time this was written, such things did not exist
