Wow! I loved that one Fox! The way you wrote it was ... wow, very clever. It seemed to gather pace along with the frantic thoughts of someone fearful of their grip on reality and each small stanza was like drawing a breath, it fluctuated and grew lesser and sharper just like one does when having a panic attack!
Wow!
The end, that 'or...' that was brilliant. It turned the whole 'darkness' before it on its head. You really are left questioning was it real or not? Its almost devious at the end... 'you and me and that thing make three,' for some reason that leapt out at me. It plays to everyone I think because we all at some point, if only as kids, been afraid of the unknown lurking there in the dark and its the unseen 'thing' that terrifies us the most! Its the basis of any good horror story! The ryhme was good, I especially admire the way you didnt fall into the second line 'repeat' or having each and every single sentence rhyme and echo the sentence above, cause that has a tendency to make some writings seem almost juvenille... well, depends on the context, but the rhyme made it flow and gave it a sense of unity. It wasn't all over the place even if it wasn't typically structured. But this style of writing is showing maturity as well as playing to a sense of childlike wonder and fear, and yeah... ****... it was just awesome.
Really. No ****. One of your best. Sorry I took so long to get my **** over and read it! And sorry for the rant, but it was SWISH!! I know I sound like an eighth grade english teacher when I rant like this but its what I get from it when I read good writing and wouldn't you rather me tell you honestly what I think in a constructive manner than just go along with the crowd and say it was great (even if they are still very right in their opinions
??
Anyway, more like this and you will win the competition Foxxy, hands down!
:thumbsup:
Keep it up
