I based this on Progress or Pause by THX 0477. http://ficly.com/stories/22867 I really liked it and wanted to give Penz a try.
Cool, I like the reversal to the patient’s point of view and how careful and calculating you made him, trying to weigh each word and only reveal what he wanted to. You’ve got a typo early on, with ‘growning’ for ‘growing’.
compared to the original, does that mean that he says some things out loud without realizing it? Adds for me just another layer to his crazy cake.
Thanks for catching the typo, THX.
This reworking of THX’s story to fit the alternative point of view is brilliant. The tone is perfectly nuanced.
Thanks, Abstract Rorschach.
I think you’ve done a great job reworking the original to show how the patient’s fevered mind works. Nicely done.
Cool, featured and some good comments. It’s a great week.
