What a nice little story! The strongest part of this excerpt is Lolanthe herself. There is something immediately sad about how much of her life seems to orbit Dariel. I ...

Interesting. Very much so. The movie metaphor is, at first, rather charming. David seeing his relationship with Marilyn as the best movie he has ever experienced gives the story an ...

Poetry, my foe. I figure I can get some practice with this poem here. So, the narrative is interesting. There is no attempt to intellectualize what is happening, which is ...

Very worthwhile idea to explore, and the progression from boundaries, to anxiety, to guilt, to regret gives the me a sense of a cohesion. I like the distinction between temporary ...
