There's a touching simplicity

Posted on Thu, 05 Feb 2015

There's a touching simplicity to your choice of words here. It brings impact and perpetuates the loss of normality sharply. 'Dapple-day' is lush.

Sharp pull in the opening, engages straight away Lindy.

Captured the complex emotions

Posted on Sat, 29 Nov 2014

Captured the complex emotions really well, Bee, the resentment and helplessness, the quiet waiting for any sort of end and noticing trivial details in the immediate environment until the noise finally ceases. Crucially, DV is frequently witnessed...
