Really great job taking apart a very small moment in time and weighting it with significant drama.

Great tension, and such detail! Well done!

Thanks for entering!

If you hadn’t titled it chess, I wouldn’t have know what was going on in this sensual piece. The opponent is made very ominous and clock his accompliss.

Wow. Very good. I didn’t even notice the lack of visual imagery until I saw that it was part of the blind challenge! Great, great entry.

I agree with Elsha, without the title I’d have thought it was about a guy who’s bad at last-minute sex. The blind thing didn’t really play out very well at all. It’s not really indicated, even indirectly, and is contradicted by the conclusion.

Your diction implies urgency, but your structure, from the phrase-level on up, seems to indicate a sort of passive entrapment. Rather than complimenting one another, they work against each other.
