You gave a great impression of the task--a mass of men, hard at work on <i>something</i>, important enough to them to sacrifice their sweat, blood, their sight... I love this sort of thing: humanity, expressed elsewhere. I have to second Teaandcakes there–I liked the after-image bit.

More please! What a great tension inducing beginning, especially since the end of the weather couplet, "green sky at night, Martian's delight," has come into play.

That's some lovely writing there. I really like "the coruscating, white hot points glowed behind his eyes like fireflies as he slept". You should be pleased with it. That’s some lovely writing there.
