I Switch The T.V. On by johnshade

Really really enjoyed this. Particularly liked all the observations about the way the room changes colour to the TV. And the idea of particular colours having a sound. When the character gets angry, it seems totally natural to me. Even though the narrator does not make much of it. That almost relaxing kind of anger. If I had to make any crit, I'd say that, I think the "I switched on the TV" motif is a bit overworked. It feels a bit easy for a story that generally avoids any cliches. Well done Mr Shade. Joe

Thanks for all your comments, I'm glad you liked the piece. Looking at it again I can see how the repetitions could get annoying. I guess I was aiming for the kind of soporific half-drunk slurring of the narrator's mind, but as emma points out this kind of thing can be better achieved by more understated means.
