This is one I followed with each little posting you made, but it looks much better and is easier to follow in this form. For now on I'm going to wait and read them on here only. Thanks for the exposure. I just got a collection of Lovecradft in the mail yesterday. I'm going to "Krack" it open this weekend.
As far as the story goes. Your writing really has a way of sucking you in. Even if nothing is going on, you feel involved. I also like the way it flows. It has a very poetic quality that is nice on the minds ear and easy to swallow.
Great job.
Chris

Thank you!
Just saw the comment, sorry for the delay.
Your work is also very good, with a strong pull for the reader.
I got this style from Walter Tevis, a professor of mine, author of "The Hustler"-he said that uninteresting bits could be left out, the reader would know what happened.
He was right.
I think "The Man Who Fell to Earth" is back in print, one of his greatest works-and the film is also disorienting and surreal-I recommend both.
