Hmm, mysterious to the end. Part of me wanted clear answers, but part of me is quite happy with all the unanswered possibilities upon which my mind can dwell.
Right. I’m glad this is the story I end up commenting on, because it was, by a mile, the best instalment – the dialogue here is perfect and the ending is blissfully ambiguous.
I felt the series as a whole sloped a little in the middle, but considering that it’s set over just a couple of days, has two characters, and is mostly their conversations (a hard mix to handle) you’ve done a sterling job.
Nice to a series that gets finished as well – another feat from the Talented Miss Elsha! MH :)
This series was beautifully written. The dialogue felt natural, as did the situations the characters were in. It kept me interested enough to read all the way to the end… where it kind of fell apart for me.
I definitely wanted some answers at the end. I have no problem leaving open endings when it’s a single piece that you mean to have others sequel or where an open ending might serve some purpose, but I don’t think either of those cases apply here. As readers, we want the story to be complete at the end, to have the characters reach a final goal, whether good or bad.
This is why so many people got upset with the TV show Lost; it introduced more questions than it answered. This series kind of does the same thing for me. If this were the end of a book , I would be annoyed.
I don’t mean to sound harsh. As I said before, this is well-written. I just think that it needs to offer the reader answers at the end to give any sort of satisfaction. Not knowing what has happened, I have no reason to care.
so true kaellinn, so true. Does that mean I will give the answers, no. I think if I did, I may well ink too much of my soul onto the page. If I did write this in a book, I WOULD give you the answers. I just can’t right now.
well, MH, I have taken a break from this, stepped back, and read it all the way through, and I agree with you. 9 is the best one, and it does slow down in the middle, but I wanted to skip the small talk anyway and move the scenes along. I guess they could have had a sand and water fight at the beach, but really, the hotel is the most tense setting and I focused most of my work there.
oh my freakin god, was i there? Did this happen during some drug induced haze or drunken black out. It is almost like a memory that i was never in.this is outstanding, and i do love you elsha you are my best bud you always have my back and i love this story.
