MM Reviews: Wave of Oblivion

Title: Wave of Oblivion

Over time people often grow attachment to the company that they keep. This also happens in relationships, where after a long period of time both parties grow an attachment towards the other which makes breaking up or any kind of separating generally hard to deal with initially. For some, the attachment is one that is so strong that it can inflict years' worth of pain if separated, while others may mourn the loss for a brief moment but then move past it in a second.

For Miller, he's attempting to live without the girl he grew attached to all the while being reminded about her with his own actions. While he laments about her mostly through his thoughts, the reader is left wondering whether there's more to him than this nameless girl, one who doesn't appear to be present within his life from the very beginning of the piece.

sans sheriff. is able to write effortless to convey Miller's thoughts and feelings to the reader, with every thought adding onto the impression of the speaker that the reader is moulding in their mind.

Not only is this story poetically beautiful, it also placed first in the story category of the Magazine's "Summer Time" contest that was running during July. Short, relatable and surprisingly cute, Wave of Oblivion is the ideal piece for someone to check out if they want to read a story that is set in the summer while not focusing on the normal summer activities that many stories include. It's a piece that is easily read and absorbed without the reader having to spend hour upon hour on it. Perfect for a short reading session amongst a busy day.

Special thanks to elixir and nearly witches. for editing.
