Absolutely love the second sentence in the second paragraph! Is there a typo at the end of the first paragraph?

I’m a sucker for personification so you won me there. XD

Nice summation there at the end.

“…yet you will never, in your limited scope, do it justice.”

I needed to hear this.

yes, it is indeed a typo. sorry about that. thanks for the feedback folks!

The last line (Herein → use it) feels unnecessary to me. It counteracts the bleakness of the previous paragraph, which is very evocative and chilling. It is a strong enough sentiment to end the piece with, I think.

Being “pure waffle”, this doesn’t have enough coherency to really pull me in; though a lot of the illusions are very well made, perhaps better used in more structured ficlys.

Wow ! " Inspiration is blessing and curse. Price and Prize. All and none." I like it!
Fox, I agree with you…Inspiration isa great strenght, but this is a mixed force.
