But there is something of this tale that caught my attention, it feels as something similar like this happened to you before... maybe I am wrong? How knows
That blew my mind to the Himalayas. Awesome short story, Kitty! It was a tad hard imagining things at the beginning, but after I read to the end the images started flowing into my mind like rapids.
Well Kittyphantom, due to unforeseen circumstances (see thread) I've only managed to review the piece now.
What can I say: When I opened this thread I expected to be hit by a wall of text. Instead, it was short, unexpectedly short. I don't think I can really go deeply into mechanics because we've seen to little of the actual, broader story.
These were words of sheer emotion, flecks of compassion obscuring the bigger picture. I liked it. The only thing that could spring to my mind in terms of critique is that I found you overused the 'She said/He said' too much. It could bring a bit more diversity into your story. For instance, instead of abusing 'say' you could go for whispers, shouts, exclamations, grumbles and so forth. Sometimes, it is not even needed to add anything like that if it's obvious who is doing the talking.
Apart from that, it was a touching little piece, and looking at the comments I think it did its job pretty well. I cannot really relate to the 'plot', as far as we can call it such, because I've never experienced the God Wars but my lack of knowledge doesn't diminish your writing's quality I think. (Or maybe it did and it truly was a masterpiece that I failed to appreciate enough
)
That's really as much as I can review of such a short story. With the emphasis on short.
