    Back again! Once again, my only nitpicks are technical-y. Your descriptions succeeded in snaring my interest, yet leave room open for interpretation. Bear in mind, the slightest grammatical mistake as

    Hey, FourTris! Nice username ;). It's clever to abridge your chapters, as shorter pieces tend to attract more reviews. But the current average is about three times this. I do ...

    Hey, Buzzy! I usually don't expect much of novel beginnings. You know, they're your prime chance to develop the exposition, and the exposition's typically the dullest part of the novel. ...

I was flummoxed by fractious Franny's decision to abrogate analgesics for the moribund victims of the recent conflagration. Of course, to display histrionics was discretionary, but I did so anyways, implicating a friend in my drama to make the effect cumulative. I think a misanthrope would have a prosaic appellation, perhaps one related to autonomy and the rejection of anthropocentrism. I think they wouldn't think much of the prominence of watching the coagulation of tea to prognosticate future malevolent events, not even if those events were related to jurisprudence.
