I think I found this through a contest or whatnot... But anyways, absolutely gorgeous. I've never seen one run-on sentence written so wonderfully and so smoothly, before. And I am a definite fan of the run-ons and other strange sentence compositions. I can't think of anything that needs changed. <3
Beautifully written. I had to read over it a few times and I still had a difficult time figuring what the plot was about so when I read the comment above me I felt like I was cheating on a test and was actually quite thankful for doing so... :tehe:
It wasn't until the second time I read through this that I realised what it was about.
Your attention to details and description is incredible, and for something so short, you told a story.
What I took from it was an older, disabled person watching their grandchild running through a garden (I loved the description of the garden as well, velvety is a perfect adjective.) and falling. The older person can't do anything as this child they love dies... it's incredible.
"Lips almost devoured by a manic smile" I love this line. I describes the carefree and energetic nature of a child running around in a garden.
"an alerting emotion swallowing my chest" This describes panic, perfectly. Especially helpless panic. I can imagine this person suddenly clutching their chest and wishing for the breath to yell for help. It creates a million images in my head.
One and only thing I noticed that was remotely bad: "suddenly illumined by a shocking crimson" You misspelled illuminated. :tehe:
It was amazing, such a story told for a short piece.
That is all I have to say.
