Nice. I like how you don't use quotations when the main character speaks. It gives the work a sense of individuality. Either that or you're lazy. Take the latter.

This was a really good piece. Funny how it's one of those "writer's block killers". For being such, it sure doesn't appear to be. :)The character felt real, which is probably one of the strongest points to the story. You buy a character, you buy their story. And I bought it. I am once again astonished by your unique descriptive abilities and I am noticing a wonderful reoccurence with you and the South. Specific locales aside, I love how you make places feel... how could I say it... "ancient"? "Mystical?" Something like that. Very Bradburyian, if you don't mind the parallel.I also enjoyed the way in which this character seems to just know people. For me, anyway, it wasn't so much like he was a mind-reader, but that it was just some natural thing, like he could just look at someone and know about them (as a writer would with his characters, for example). It's a neat little idea, kind of a display of writing in Omniscent First Person rather than Third. Very cool. I'm very intrigued by what the main character meant when he said/thought "You wouldn’t believe me if I told you" in reference to his name. I don't know if this is supposed to be apparent by the story's content (and I'm sorry I missed it if it is), but I want to know! BTW, you get extra points for the Palahnuik reference. :)

This one is just as amazing as the other. You rock. I wish I was half as good a writer as you. I liked the imagery with everything as capitals and after thoughts; solid scenery compared to intangibles. Everything was amazing. Was I confused? Of course, but that made it even better. Amazing. :)

from the very first sentence...I was glued to it. again, just absolutely beautiful description, imagery, diction, everything. I especially loved how throughout the story, the narrator said "don't ask me how I know this. I just don't know." and near the end he instead says "I don't know. I just don't know"...bravo! ^.^

David- I really like this, it kept me glued the whole time, I specially liked the line "she is so hot" that definitely sounds like you. Your writing has seriously improved so much in the past few years and by the time we graduate, man the sky is the limit for you...my fav part of this is the line "What Henry Alberts is dressed in is a tri-corner hat and culottes. I don’t know who the hell he is, because, apparently, neither does he." Sounds weird maybe, but seriously does anybody really know who they are?

Wow... This is really good. I did have to read a few parts a couple times to let it sink in. Im still not sure i completely get it. But what i have discerned appears, to me, to be a very interesting tale. Formidable! Je ne peut pas croire que tu as l'ecrit.
