Explosive ending - oh no, not

Explosive ending - oh no, not Marc! You capture the grubbiness and seediness of power play, and the sadness of the individual lives destroyed on all sides. This has been a really gripping and enjoyable story.

You tell that Freddy where to go.
I loved the description of your childhood efforts to stay awake, and the skilful way you marry them up with your present situation. I hope you had a great day at the ballpark.

Posted on Sun, 08 May 2016
I really enjoyed this. It's a cliche to say 'we've all been there', and maybe not exactly in that way, but the emotions are so recognisable, and the remedies, with personal variations, are pretty universal. The bit about social media made me...

The strands all coming

Also another development in this...

It is difficult to read, particularly on a screen. The words themselves provide the cumulative effect you seem to be aiming for, powerfully building to the denoument. I don't think you need this particular formatting.

You have not put this piece
Posted on Tue, 19 Apr 2016
You have not put this piece as fiction so I am assuming it is at least partly personal experience. It must have been very difficult to write. You've captured the heightened emotion of such an occasion, the artificiality and sometimes surreal...
