  • Short Story » General, General Re: Bread

    Ouch... this piece is harsh. In a good way, of course, but... wow. However, you wanted criticism, so I'll get there. The switch between the characters is a little hard ...

  • Short Story » General, General Re: Dangerous Games

    I like this - no, it doesn't make too much sense on it's own, but when viewed symbolically it says a lot. You learn tons from a relationship or friendship ...
