Interesting idea

Posted on Sat, 19 Dec 2015

Painful but sweet

Agree with A on this: pace and structure are perfect and it does a great job at conveying the anxiety attached to cold judgements passed by others. We all know this is a world full of grey areas and nuance, but often we're judged on black and...

Effectively vivid

Posted on Thu, 02 Oct 2014

I think this portrays a dramatic little scene in very vivid terms, and made me want to know more about the characters. It was a little frustrating in coming across as just a fragment of something larger, but id does convey the tension within the...
