Loved the OTT visuals.<br /><br />Rebecca, if I see something that I love, and see some little tweak that -might- make it better, I like to mention it. I'm always trying to be better and it's what I would want, if people spot something in my work. And thank you, it's probably one of my favourites, too.<br /><br />Stephen, everything just seemed to come together as I wrote it, and the little details all just fell into place. =)<br /><br />Icy, thank you. =)John Xerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492709629314280633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554146478001236835.post-84326350830352701462011-07-01T17:03:19.728+01:002011-07-01T17:03:19.728+01:00I really enjoyed this.

Came here via your link--and stuffed full of gratitude, my friend, so thank you for those awesome links--and this just tore at my eyeballs, made them ache. I want to cry, and yet I'm not exactly sure why: For Lola? For the Reincarnatrix? Maybe. This sounds like Hell on earth, another of your exquisite reimaginings, and maybe, a little bit, I know what it feels like to be those who scream a prayer, and maybe I'm afraid that I would be one of those smiling ones.<br /><br />One of your very best.<br /><br />And again, thanks for such kind words. Coincidentally, I was just discussing you, in an abstract way, with a friend today. About crit, really, and how you could say, "The end of that story was kind of cheesy," and it was necessary and I was glad you did. Anyway. R.S., out!R.S.

It is powerful, startling imagery and I saw that in your piece as well. I'm both chilled by the helplessness of Lola and fascinated by the strange world. Great piece. :)Zaiurehttp://zaiuregrey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554146478001236835.post-78101609261497511332011-06-29T14:29:20.606+01:002011-06-29T14:29:20.606+01:00Thanks, W.G. =)Thanks, W.G. =)John Xerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492709629314280633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554146478001236835.post-43236486929799303862011-06-28T21:39:24.528+01:002011-06-28T21:39:24.528+01:00I like this.

There is no intended narratological link between pieces except where specified.<br /><br />Now I kind of wish there was one... ;)<br /><br />I guess the fourth face might be compassion, or pity.
