yah! Good use of italics, and I didn’t mind the absence of quotation marks. I don’t particularly like the bold ending. Not sure why we have it, don’t know where bold might be used effectively in any story.

@SirBic:

I enjoyed utilizing the absence of marks and use italic and bold to destroy the stories proscenium arch. I used the bold to imply that the he might be waking up from a dream.

I’m having fun with these! Some are taking longer the the 1024’s!

I like the ALL CAPS, much better. I think the bold’s only use would be for chapter headings – making it that much more difficult to use them here. []o)

@32 Squared: it makes me really happy that you know both the literal and figurative meaning of proscenium arch. Yay for breaking the fourth wall!

I really liked this, I agree that the italics are effective and I like the all caps, though I didn’t see it in bold.

I’m still feeing a little bit guilty about using the title as a way to break the 140 character rule, a nice loophole though. I hate rules but respectfully follow them. But if I see an undiscovered way out, I’m taking it!

@someday; I loved my movie history class. I still have fun by telling people that actors have the most screwed up notion of right and left. “No! MY right! No! YOUR left!” And it also depends on whose shouting it and which way the actor is facing. Putting up with that alone deserves a salary of millions.

Thanks for noticing, in the remarks even!

Great story, lots of tension in very few characters.

And I loved learning something new (proscenium arch)!
