 Safira 2006-05-07 . chapter 1This piece of writing immediately captures a reader’s attention from the very first sentence with ‘shock’ images. Words and sentences come together to flow remarkably well, and emotions are conveyed vividly and powerfully. The protagonist’s tone is similar to one where he or she is confiding with the reader, and we cannot help but listen – we are swept away with his or her words and anticipating to see where it ends.
In my own opinion, the passage that struck me the hardest was: “You wipe it with one hand, suddenly finding yourself face-to-face with someone whose name escapes you. That's the problem with reflections – they always look you in the eye. You begin to see yourself in third person. Everything's an out-of-body experience these days.” There are times where I can honestly relate to this situation, and I'm sure others can as well.
Moreover, I agree with this text’s message that is solidified at the end. “Derail the nightmare. Because don't you know? Limbo is déjà vu disguised as routine.” – Very true indeed.
