Subject to Nightmares 2008-09-02 . chapter 1
Hazel!
Man oh man, you got a LOT of comments on this story.
I'm so happy to be a part of it!
Write another one, and don't take 3 years to complete it!
But make it long. Long. Like, forever-long. =)

WHY DID I DIE? Oh, 'cause you saved me, right.
I DIDN'T WANT TO DIE. Did I tell my mom you killed me?
So much for her buying pizza for you! Dx

--Angel
--SUBJECT TO NIGHTMARES 'cause of this story. =)
--I love you.

Author,

I'd like to begin by saying that this is an original and very intriguing work. I've always been a fan of the horror genre, and I think this fits in the same niche that Silent Hill does.

I was surprised by the coherent writing style that you present. If you have read any other of the completed horror works on Fiction Press, I think you'll know what I'm talking about.

The characterization of Hazel and Mitchell very well done. As well as how Hazel's slow descent into madness. However if I am wrong about the Latter, I apologize.

The only thing I find hindering in your work, is the incoherency, or rather the gap between scenes. With some chapters you jump right into it, with the air of assuming we know whats going on. Especially the morgue scene. I reread that four or five times to see if I missed something.

The first scene Mitchell advises them to sleep, and in the next scene you start with only three characters. It's not the fact that you started with only three characters that I found confusing, it's that you talked as if they were the only three in the room, where in the last scene there were half a dozen.

Its not a rampant occurrence in your piece, but there are a couple of instances of it.

Other than that, this piece is well written. You handled the bewilderment of the characters in certain scenes in such a way to convey it across to the readers, and have the readers understand whats going on, yet have them bewildered too.

I hope that you continue writing, and wish you well in you're endeavors. I look forward to reading your next piece.

In sincerity and constructive criticism,

Sophocles

Ugh. Unpleasant chapter ending.

I'm really liking this...enough to have read all the way through it, which is not something I normally have the attention span to do. It's funny but at the same time packed with creepy, creepy images...I would have to say the scariest thing about it is how trapped they are, though. I'm rooting for them to get out, but I don't know what you have in mind.

Looking forward to seeing more!
