This is so simple. But elegant, and eloquent, and…
Really got me this one – lots of themes – anonymity, significance of life, it’s packed. And written so fantastically, I really am lost for words because I don’t have any criticism to offer!
Easily my favourite piece of the day, if there were more pencils than 5… MH :)
Ah, the anonymity of youth. There were only 350 people in my graduating class, and I only knew a handful by name. When a couple of them died in a car accident, I had a very similar feeling as the one you express here.
I also like that the hint of this being a suicide is understated. Too often a theme like that is used for shock, but you left just a small hint of it in the final line of the last stanza. Very awesome.
This was fantastic. I absolutely love the way it is written. You wrote just enough that has me asking what happened? and who was it? But I think it’s better that there isn’t a sequel. Did I mention this was fantastic? :)
