It sounds really good, I can see where you might sense the similarities with UC but this is imaginative enough and different in its own right to not be in its shadow. I love all of your stories, they get me through the day, please don't put a muzzle on your imagination, if I was half as creative as you I would let it run wild and free. I am sure that should you go ahead and write this story that it will be just as brilliant, original and entertaining as all of your other stories before it :-)
