    Hi. So, before I get to critique, I really want to commend you on this. Your descriptions were breathtaking; in a way they remind me of Lovecraft, but from another ...

    Alright! So. This was pretty good. You have a nice taste for imagery; phrases like "cerulean silk,/with forgotten frayed ends" evoke strong mental portraits of what is going on, and ...

    Please just left-align this and leave the color black? Changing the format does nothing to make your story any better, and in fact hinders the reading more than anything. I'm ...

    I couldn't bring myself to review the individual parts. I really think that the story can't be judged without having a view of its entirety. I was at a loss ...

    Ahaha. It's hard not to appreciate stories narrated from the perspective of inanimate objects, and I think you've done a respectable job here. For its length, your story of an ...
