Memories
before reading
This story just appeared one day while I was rolling around
my house in a rolling chair, so I popped open my netbook and wrote it. I
remember it was like a song or an epic poem, flowing out of my brain and on the
page. The copy was clean and required only spell-checking. I also remember that
this was the first absolute “Creative voice” story I ever wrote, with
surprising—and disturbing—results.
Review
after reading
The first thought is: I really like the ending, and the
opening paragraph pops along. I use the word crypt-crèches, which is classy. I
think it’s atmospheric—but the writer has the atmosphere in his head, so he
can’t judge—and worth the time.
