The back and forth between her thoughts and her broken replies is captivating. It’s almost like a comic book where the hero is in the crushing clutches of the villain. But what’s more interesting than that is that this is a very real occurrence, and the whole (emotionally wrought) argument exists within this one person. I’ve heard, “no tears in the writer means no tears in the reader” — the way you wrote this reminds me of that saying. You have felt this panic before. You know it so well that your reader’s can’t help but feel it too.
I didn’t know anyone else had this. Wow. You got right in the head there. I love finding stuff on here that is just so human. So completely real and relatable that it has to affect the reader in one way or the other. Mr DeWitt you have an admirer in me.
This is so personal and powerful. I personally don’t know what that conversation feels like, but because of how beautifully you’ve put into words, I can empathize. Bravo.
I’m with Jessica, I can empathize because you wrote it so well. I understand the struggle for clarity in issues like these, just not the squeeze of death while going through them. These introspective pieces are fascinating.
I haven’t read something so sincerely human in so long. This is so captivating! Just throwing in my two cents, and some more orthodox writers would probably disagree with me, but the quick transitions between dialogue and thoughts were perfecto.
You deserve more, but I’m totally giving you five pencils. Great work.
