Wow. Very powerful imagery at the end, with the “well-worn paths”.

That was depressing. Very nicely done, and I really couldn’t find a flaw to nit-pick as I usually do. Still, very depressing. I don’t know what month it is, but I’ll go check out the challenge to see.

Deep…with a great sense of accepting hopelessness about it. I especially liked the last two lines. Great read as ever.

Woe this was macabre I liked the way you kept the reader captivated by the cadance of the piece. Really nicely done.
