The Women of Hill 499

This is my first attempt at posting content here. Hopefully I won't do anything out of bounds or otherwise screw it up.

I recently read the terrific story "The Object Lesson" by @Sexitus Bacilus. For lack of a better approach, I'm going to borrow that method of posting in sections. If you'd rather get the whole story at once, it's available in PDF format on DeviantArt.

And away we go....
