The way your character zones

Posted on Thu, 30 Jan 2014

The way your character zones in on minutaie in the shower is good, lots of fine detail, her inner monologue draws you in. Only bit I wasn't sure about was the pouffe string, it trivialises the seriousness of the mood somewhat. The cutting end is...
