- smile4me:
- Really, you.
I don't know what to say.
This really triggered my emotions, if anything.
Heart-achingly beautiful. I hope not true, though I think it very well might be.
You're a genius; your way with words is genius.
Needless to say, I love it.
Thank you muchly for sharing this with us. : ]
*shudders*
Okay, HOW do you do that!? You have the most addictive hooks, my God. Always in the first paragraph, there's always a line, always that feeling, that makes me become absorbed into the story. ...it's like DATERAPE. But I like it. :shifty
Moving on!
Your words are so intense and haunting. The picture that you weave is so real, it's unbelievable. The antisipation you create, the suspense... it's like a carwreck; like staring at the sun. It's so powerful, it pushes your emotions to a dangerous level, but you have to read it. :shock:
You have this way of saying the perfect thing in the perfect way at the exact right time. The words you chose and how you use them is magnificent.
Someone offered me a water bottle, but I pushed past them with a muttered apology and started down the hall, footsteps echoing his.
I can see this like it's happening right in front of me. You're a master at hypnotizing my mind and drawing me down this hallway with moving pictures. I can feel his arm brushing past the person trying to give him water. I can smell the stale, musty scent of old paint chipping off the wall. I can hear the footsteps, closer, closer. It gives me the chills. You're so talented that you don't even have to mention everything, because what you do write contains such superb detail. You take the art of writing to a whole new level.
Barely able to breathe, I followed him around the corner and finally through a doorway, unprepared for his sudden stop, the twist of his shoulders as he turned abruptly to face me.
Dear God, I can see the narrow look on his face and the heavy look in his eyes. The effects that your writing provides, holy hell. I thoroughly enjoy my brain being probed and manipulated by your words.
How many of them, thirteen, sixteen, nineteen, thirty years old, could claim to have overcome the way he did, stopped cutting, stopped cheating, stopped drinking, lying, stealing, getting high, fill in the fucking blank? How could they forget that the things he’d faced were the very things that made him capable of snarling the lyrics they loved so fucking much into the harsh mesh of the microphone, asking nothing in return from them except a little faith?
Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble. The above paragraph conquers so much anger in me. Because it's so true. And so many people who claim to understand, so many people who used to know what it's like to have noone understand turn their cheeks and become so ignorant and conceited, thinking they're better but all they're doing is breaking someone.
It was the constant throb of an invisible gun pressed tightly against his temple, greasy black barrel wide like someone’s tar-stained mouth; hissing you’re not good enough, you can’t win, have a drink, and they hate you they hate you they hate you.
Breathtaking. So true, too. But noone remembers to consider that.
He flinched when I wrapped my arms around his waist, crushing his body to mine so tightly that his ribs probably bruised blue and violet later, and I could feel the pulse of his heartbeat thudding fitfully in his chest, so close to cracking and losing it all.
My heart started throbbing after reading that. My eyes brimmed with tears. I become overwhelmed with fear and failure and emptiness. When they hugged and their bodies connected, it was like I was channeling the emotion through a vein that's constricting and struggling to pump more blood through my body to combat the emotion that's swarming around me.
They had loved us, they had made us, but I couldn’t let them be the ones to kill us.
*takes a deep, shaky breath* Oh. My. Fucking. God. That was... that line. Oh my God, oh my God. How devastating.
The ending... Jesus Christ. You're incredible. Never forget it. Some people try to write things just the exercise fancy words. Some people try to forge meaning. Some people have meaning but can't harness it and capture it. You put so much emotion into your words that they gain so much power. My heart ached while reading this. My insides twisted. You stimulate minds so well. You deserve an award. :arms:
