 temblance 2007-01-03 . chapter 1Oh, wow. I am a HUGE fan of pieces like these. I liked how you moved from seemingly random topic to topic on the different days, but they all come together to fit into the story. THe only section I didn't particularly enjoy was the Sunday one where her father was yelling at her. I think that all caps just annoy me in general, but there was something...I don't really know if I'm qualified to comment, but it seemed that his dialogue was a bit overdone/unrealistic. Just personal preference--I would have liked to see it more understated, since the rest of the story is very muted. It all has this bland sort of feel to it, but it really serves the story well, especially at the end when her death is glossed over.
hmm. I don't know if it's too late to vote, but this one was my favorite so far. All in all, an excellent experiment in dialogue. |
