What a tempo this has, all

Posted on Fri, 04 Mar 2016

What a tempo this has, all the sibilance and alliteration, the fast paced punch of a mother's sick mind. Most moving. Would like to hear this, it is far-reaching and word placement is immaculate. Are you up for one edit suggestion? If unwanted,...

I look forward to part two.

Posted on Sun, 14 Feb 2016

I look forward to part two. Lots appealed to me, the short sentences (such a sucker for commas and brevity), very colloquial narrative voice, the deep poison arrows of pain you managed to balance in the trio of betrayal. Well done.
